Re: Ecuador

My son and his girlfriend intend to start a yoga + plant-medicine "retreat" for gringos. He's 48 - old enough to know better (!), but flexible enough to have several short but reasonably rewarding...

Re: Ecuador

My son is visiting me now, and we've been talking about the differences in the Spanish versions spoken in Latin America. He and a Mexican girlfriend (a university lecturer) spent a week in Cuba once,...

Re: Ecuador

Morning, M. Yes this is an interesting thread! I'm looking forward to checking the place out, when I'm a bit older... Not a bad place to end my days, I think - as long as I have someone to lean on...

Re: Ecuador

Re: Ecuador

That's very interesting! What work were you doing, to keep you there for so long? My son and g-f are down in the south of the country. Very cheap rentals there, because they're owned by "rich gringo...

Re: Ecuador

I don't know anything about working there. Depends on what kind of work-skills you have, I guess. You would need a Work Permit, I know that. Parts of the country are a hippies' paradise, I'm told,...
