I’ve lived in most countries for between 3-7 months. Your “perfect spot” can also change with your age and as you have more experience living abroad. I don’t feel drawn to go out and explore.
Over time you will begin to learn to respectfully understand others opinions instead of insulting people. Thanks, Marcello, I don’t share some of your visions but the derogatory comments written by some readers made me thing over about this trip that won’t happen. Moved to the states and went back 14 yrs later I literally came back yesterday…. Tall trees line clean, well-maintained streets. There was a disturbing ‘police state’ feel about the place. its amazingggggggg, its a backpacker destination, tons of europeans, argentinians, from all over the place is a small rustic beach (Crazy beach) doesnt sleep, parties all night and is perfect in the mornings the best cceviches you’ll eat, has activities, like parasailing, boat rides, la banana I was there 2 nights, very safe, super nice people (most of the workers in there are backpackers) bartenders, people selling things on the beach.. you can eat a ceviche in the beach, its a surf destination as well… and is on a route where you can take a bus for $1.50 and visit the next beach and have another amazing experience. We need to take the necessary precautions to protect ourselves no matter where we go!
Not for me.
Coming from Florida where people are so warm and friendly, coming to Ecuador really was a huge change. I lived in Quito for months as a teenager and never had a problem. It is a shit-hole. I have lived in Colombia as well, have been to Peru and many countries in all of America, yet I find Ecuador to have the right balance between them all. I found the people to be very nice—the country is now stressed by low oil prices. I have been living in Quito for three years so far and I totally agree with the article.
Stereotypes exist for a reason. I would not stay in Quito one more time, it is not that special, but as it is on UNESCO I wanted to check it out. Because of their lack of consistency in economy and in their government it only makes sense why almost everything is in English for example. Any suggestions on car rental from non American agencies or private local agencies in each country. A few things. I spent 2 months in Ecuador as a lone 20 year old female on my first solo trip. You really should just take this down to avoid further negative publicity of your website, and to stop this war-storm of comments. “Medellín became my ‘ideal retirement spot’… whereas a decade prior it had been Cuenca.”.
Most people just want to say everything is wonderful about travel and that is sadly not the case. I can recommend Ecuador to anyone, it is my favourite country in the world! USD! I’ve been to both Ecuador and Peru, and let me tell you, Ecuador is much, much more developed than Peru. Lovely city, incredibly nice people and great food. Ok, I’m not saying that other countries are not beautiful or have nothing to offer in comparison to Ecuador.
However, i get it.
Guayaquil is very interesting if visited with the right people, I.e. Angela I really appreciate your comment. When this happens bystanders usually don’t interfer cause it goes so fast. Nope, not at all. have you heard how thousands of Ecuadorians travel all the way to Ipiales, Colombia to buy goods n that’s because the taxes in Ecuador are soo unjust n exaggerated http://www.elcomercio.com/actualidad/ipiales-santuario-colombiano-compras-ecuatorianos.html. They are loud , rowdy and obnoxious drunkards. Marcello,, I met you in Santiago Chile about 3-4 years.
Food? 2:03:22. Can hardly wait to get there.

Ecuador has suffered so much. Unfortunately or not you article kept coming up in my searches, hence my comment hopefully is not a reaction. Colombia have been fighting the cons and the negative image associated with drugs and all the killings of the pass. Yet, in another instance, a strange family took me in for a couple days and I have returned to visit them in subsequent travels to Ecuador.

I’m 60 and I’ve been traveling around the world since I was 18 years old. I’d have to say that I have a lot of conflicting thoughts on your article. The land suffers, the people suffer…. Because of its beautfu, weather and safety. I never heard anyone say this before. My friend’s friend got out of the taxi in Guayaquil, after just flying in, and after she paid the cab driver, he took off with ALL of her luggage. I think your misinterpreting the article. One of the symptoms is anxiety and it comes through in your word pictures. Marcello, You are clearly in favour of the country you live in and know well. I found the people of the country to be very kind and gracious (as most Latin’s are), but after living in Medellin and visiting countries like Brazil the place where I would rather be is clear; It isn’t Ecuador. I have being on United States for one week and even there I din not feel safe at all, in these days any place is dangerous, now you are saying Guayaquil is dangerous because you just hear some comentaries so then I can say Colombia is dangerous because I had heard the same comentaries coming from the people, you can judge a place just basing in others opinions.
I disagree with you in just few points. That’s exactly what you are. We turned around and returned the car. You were talking about a country you only spend 4 days in and your comments were unjust and untrue. Most of those are made up anyway and the stats aren’t that reliable. I’m sorry, but can you add some specifics to your post? I think not. I have travel to many “third world countries” including the continent of Africa. Its one thing if something doesn’t happen to you (Normally I don’t have any issues when I travel) but that doesn’t make a city safe. With the exception of what they call ”Indigenas” ,but more n more of them are now opting for western attire/culture too. You’re an idiot to compare Quito to Galapagos. Those yellow cabs, or any random cab could be very dangerous. She has appeared often on radio and television (including Bloomberg and CNBC) and speaks regularly on topics to do with living, retiring, investing, and doing business around the world.

Ecuadorians yearn to be more and more something other than Ecuadorians. Wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. China has begun to invest in countries around the world it just isn’t seen yet. A wise man once wrote ” It’s better to have someone think you are st………. Your ideas about what’s “ideal” for you can evolve over time. Of course we did plenty of things outside of those four days. I’m planning to go back to Ecuador this year as I have made many friends and I stay at their house. Did you talk about something else besides security during the four days? I am afraid I am cancelling. Funny isn’t it? I was born there but I wouldn’t classify myself as Venezuelan since I grew up in the United States. The world surfing championships are held there.
