Retire to Ecuador

Written by lingil on

My daughter is living in Quito Ecuador and I often wonder why she chose to move so far away. What is so great about Ecuador?

My daughter lives in Quito, the capital city where they speak very little English. That's OK because she is very fluent in Spanish and I am sure that's why the government hired her as an interpreter.

It is also one of the worlds cheapest places to live. Of course, just because it's cheap it doesn't mean it's ideal as a retirement or investment destination. However, the weather is beautiful and there is so much natural beauty. You are close to the world famous Galapagos Islands, a wonder in itself.

You can live a comfortable lifestyle cheaply. Also, you still also get all the amenities and comforts that we are accustomed to having such as cell phones and internet.

As a foreigner in Ecuador my daughter was welcomed and admired.

Consider what a wonderful place to retire. As a retiree in Ecuador, you'll be treated with respect, and the people will be eager to get to know you. What a perfect place to reconnect and live a good life.
