Why Cotacachi Ecuador – 3C’s (Climate, Cost, Culture)
The only baggage you can bring
Is all that you can’t leave behind
You’re packing a suitcase for a place none of us has been
A place that has to be believed to be seen
Walk on, walk on
Leave it behind
You got to leave it behind
Cerro Cotacachi
Greetings friends,
With the beginning of a new year it seems like a good time to provide an update on the reasons I picked Cotacachi, Ecuador as a place to live. The reasons are still the same, the 3Cs: Climate, Cost and Culture however now with a couple of years experience I can provide more detail about each reason. Over the next several weeks I will look at each reason in depth, providing as much detail as I can. First up will be Cost, specifically looking at Food.
Relocating to a new place outside your home country is a big move that involves many considerations. While it can cause some anxiety and uncertainty it can also be a very rewarding experince and an adventure of a lifetime. For me, Ecuador has several factors that make it a realtively easy place to relocate to.
For example:
- Close To The States: It is a 4 hour flight from Miami to Quito.
- Currency is based on USD, no currency conversions needed.
- Relatively low resident visa requirments: $800 a month for retirement and $25,000 for investment.
- Spanish language – Relatively easy to learn and a lot of exposure in the states.
- Smaller country that you can get your mind around.
Till next week,
Vá com Deus
