США
Добавлен 22 окт 2022
Formerly "genERIC Expats" we bring you resources to help your move abroad. Are you trying to retire abroad? Or perhaps live abroad as a Digital Nomad? Researching that new city or country to live in? How safe is it? Can you buy a property? What will your food and entertainment monthly budget be? Is the weather comfortable? What's your ideal altitude in the tropics? How easy will it be to make new foreigners/Expats friends in this new city? How about local ones? How's the dating scene?
I explore these categories and rate each city I explore (while traveling on my motorcycle) as I live in them for a MINIMUM of one month during this series I call: GenericExpats

Ecuador's sewer system is a combination of domestic wastewater and stormwater, with a significant portion of the network in major cities like Quito utilizing gravity-fed collectors to transport wastewater, though many areas still lack adequate treatment facilities and significant portions of the population don't have access to proper sanitation, leading to wastewater often being discharged directly into rivers and oceans; Guayaquil has a more developed sewer system with extensive collector networks, but still faces challenges with wastewater treatment and discharge into the Daule-Guayas Rivers.
@henryirazabal2118 interesting information thanks for that.
Does Ecuador have any restrictions on solar installations on properties?
@@oregonfelder1 not that i know of, no
EL SALVADOR es y sera el refugio para uir de todo lo malo q viene al mundo
Jeff, you are doing such an amazing job! I an so proud to call you my friend. Will be there soon.
I’m his eldest son 😂. it’s pretty cool that he’s on here, but this place is a total blast to stay at. I’ve really enjoyed my time there, fresh seafood everyday, dining out is extremely affordable and delicious. for a family of five at a nice restaurant it’s $40
Hey thanks for commenting! Yea this location is super relaxing, great views, amazing food, what a superb place to call home. How long did you stay for?
@@livingabroadwitheric I was there for 3 weeks, it’s a great place for any seafarer! I always admired how ambitious my dad was its great to see his work recognized.
Would you RETIRE on a "tranquilo" beach like this? Is this your dream? Or did the first house catch your eye? Let me know here!
I really tried to watch this, but the music transitions.....
@@mcfarlandtrevor thanks for the input
Thanks for the info! I'm using this video to try and convince my gf that we should meet in Peru instead for the time being while we work online (She's Ecuadorian). This is no easy task. Pray for me
@mattkriese7170 hahah its been a serious nightmare. I just arrived to Piura in northern peru and you have no idea how much stress is lifted off my shoulders now
Glad you're in Cuenca, one of the most beautiful cities in the world! It does have its problems, but so does everywhere else. haha... Congrats on that motorcycle journey. That's one for the books! Enjoy man.
@GringoNation thanks for watching. I actually just arrived to Tumbes, Peru today. No mas cuenca even though i loved the dry season sunny days there
I didn't plan to watch an entire video of one interview, but you were so good with your questions and comments, and your guest was such a character, i couldn't stop. I can see him as a stand up comedian. Want to check out his books! Well done!
@billwx3864 thanks so much for watching 😁 have you been to antigua before?
@livingabroadwitheric no, but my dream for many years has been to visit central America, esp Antigua and lake Atitlán. My primary interest is photographing and identifying butterflies and moths. They seem underrepresented in Guatemala.
Please guys go not move to Guatemala stay in your country! It just makes the country even more expensive for locals!
Amazing lady. Forever welcome here.
Sweet & Coffee is delicious, feels a bit like Starbucks!!!
@@christiancastano5057 definitely very similar hahah
Gracias mi Bro! Yo soy el panadero de este lugar, un gusto y un placer 🙌🏻
I used to run around Guayaquil back in the late 80’s. It was one of the most hot and humid place I can remember, next to El Choco, Quibdo Colombia (the worst). The place I stayed at had no AC and only one faucet for the shower….room temperature! You sweat all day and sweat all night! I eventually got used to it, but it was miserable. I ended up buying a place in Quito, from Japanese Oil men! Lmao! Seriously! I wish I STILL had that place! It was gorgeous! This was back when we still used the Sucre as money! I still have some of those bills! I moved on to Medellin, Colombia then on to Costa Rica…recently sold my place in CR…
@@dirtydingus5465 why did you leave costa rica
Where is going to be your next home now?
Great video! I am planing to go for 2 months in January. Can you pay with credit card there or you need cash?
There are tons of businesses with credit card machines but its best to take out pesos (maybe a few hundred dollars worth just in case) since some small businesses dont
@@livingabroadwitheric great! Thanks so much :)
Wow! That's beautiful!!! 😍
Cuenca looks very walkable, and scenic views. Very nice! 😁👍🏻
@christopherhouse7937 very nice indeed
I noticed that Las Peñas was not mentioned. They colorful colonial hours and art galeries along Numa Pompilio Llorona are a must-see.
Yes, Las penas was not included in this video. I wanted to make a Malecon 2000 vs. Samborondón video first before making a "full guayaquil tour" video :-) Do you live in Ecuador?
Saludos Yernito! ❤❤❤
Gracias doña suegrita
Samborondón is really beautiful, I want to visit Ecuador ❤
You’re going to love it! Its a fancy place
You should visit azogues La Catedral de San Francisco very good place
VAT rate generally? How much is the VAT rate on alcohol? How much does gas cost for the car right now in Peru? Do Uber or Lyft operate there, and what are local rideshare companies - do any have their own app? Would be good to have much more specifics.
@@FeralineHydor im returning to peru next week and would happily make a video about these topics. Do you have any other questions?
great interview great guest. But having watched so many expat interviews this year, just once it would be nice to listen to an interview with an expat that is NOT really so well off financially. some of us just want a change of scenery, and do not ask for much when moving. just a one room apartment, with good clean drinking water and some nice size city parks
@StuG-pr9tf i wouldnt say either the guest nor me, the host, are the stereotypical middle upper class well off expat. Im currently in a one bedroom apartment in Cuenca Ecuador living the good life in a minimalist way. Hopefully my content helps 😌 🙏
I just flew (as a pilot) my first trip to Guatemala and then returned to Miami. I feel so stupid for taking 5 years of French that I never used. Anyway; Guatemala is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. I have been flying to a lot of places and cannot wait to go back to GUA.
Haha interesting story. Which places did you visit on your previous trip?
We hope there won't be a tsunami 🤭 But the view from your apartment is, of course, gorgeous 😎
Have you seen these celebrations before? What do you think of moving to Cuenca in 2024? Would you go regardless of the current difficulties?
bro they didn't take 1.5 years to remodeling the municipal , they actually took 1 month only haha , you missed to visit a lot of others things right there in san pedro sula , hopefully you can comeback one day
@@nicky2399 it was a very quick stop! I wouldve loved to stay longer but it wasnt possible
Hermosa ciudad
Totally agree best in Ecuador
The best option Guatemala 🇬🇹 great place to live and relax ❤
Only fats around 🤮
Amazing!!!!
@@JimenaCorreaDiaz thanks. Are you a digital nomad also?
So you say these tickets are verifiable by the immigration officer when you go into the country. Does that mean that these are legitimate capable of being used for flight?
@tenbye466 ive successfuly used them for both exit flight requirements at airports as well as at immigration yes
@ that is good to know, but can I ask you one more question, if you were to go to that flight, would you be able to board the actual flight from the dummy ticket?
@@tenbye466 interesting question. These flights are future flights and your access to them expires before they fly so i cant see that being possible
Would love to see the full video. Love the Grumpy ol’ Gringo. Coming in February.
Hes a character! Looking to release the full video once i escape black'out chaos here haha
Tegucigalpa is much better!
@sorchiazzo i loved the weather in Tegucigalpa its perfect. SPS is a bit too hot for me tbh
Lol nah, Small streets, houses about fall down, San Pedro is organized and better streets and way more cleaner streets.
Muy bien Yernito! ❤
Gracias doña suegrita
Coming from the US and living in Nuevo Vallarta. I must say Mazatlán is way nicer and more authentic and cleaner than some areas in Nayarit. I believe within a couple of years Mazatlán will be more popular than what it is nowadays.
@Ricardoelhawi mazatlan is 100% underrated which makes it that much better. HOWEVER crime from the Sinaloa cartel has been pretty intense there my buddy is there and has seen/heard safety issues regularly.
@@livingabroadwitheric In my opinion, I came with an American car. Got stopped by “the police” they wanted more than $40,000 MXP (underneath the table) without any explanation to why they stopped me at first. They took my car to the “cochera” it was terrible. All of it here in PV. The majority of the police in this country are all corrupted.
@Ricardoelhawi wow no way. I had zero issues with police in the 6 weeks i spent driving my motorcycle in PV. Sounds rough. I did get extorted recently in medellin, colombia for 500usd. So i feel your pain hahha. They sent the bike into the impound lot on illegitimate fines and i had no other choice. Same thing that happened to you?
Just sent you an email :)
