AriG: I'm not sure if you can drive a car in here or not and just be on vacation. I think you can. I asked someone today and they said they read somewhere that a person can come with a car, but they...

Eh! I hear there's a lot of crap that goes down at the Crapitol! (said standing in front of the Capitol Building)

Hey, check this out, I just found this link! Other people starting communities in Ecuador, maybe one of these is your thing instead. Most of these are in Vilcabamba, and I know a few of these to be...

I always had a problem with terms like Rainbow Warrior, or Freedom Fighter, or Light Warrior, Sword of Truth, all that type of thing, war terms for seemingly "good" things. Seems like an oxymoron,...

MOVING TO CHEAPER COUNTRIES

Before you judge the gringos who are looking for cheaper places to live in the world, and Ecuador is not the only place they are going to, look at the cold hard facts...

Gringos only make up 1% of the real estate sales here in Ecuador, and returning Ecuadorians make up 30 – 35 % of the real estate sales here. Who makes up the other 64% of the real estate sales?...

If you want to truly be part of their culture and reality, you must learn Spanish. You know, learning Spanish is not that hard, really. You already know 50% of the Spanish language already. Did you...

Ahh, Blufire, our posts crossed at the same time in cyberspace! Your second post was a completely different energy. As to your question, I really couldn't tell you how to create a community in the...

So David, what is your story? What brought you to Ecuador, and Loja in particular? Are you farming and own a place there?

Yum! Chocolate! But it won't grow well at this elevation, :( Avacado,...

Oh! Ok! I know Madre Tierra, where the talks happen sometimes. Nice place! Sure a tree sounds nice! We have a lot of trees, especially pine and eucalyptus trees. What kind of tree do you have? So you...
