Just came off Tony Robbins and Dean Graziosi freebie event, which focused a lot of course on living your dreams…your best life and your video was the first one that popped up. Thank you for continuing to do these videos. So fun, informative and helpful.
Cuiden mucho esos lugares maravillosos. Han escogido uno de los mejores, probablemente el mejor lugar del mundo para vivir. Gracias por compartir. Saludos cordiales.
I like the fireworks and burning tree stories. Being rural already, think that area will be a good fit for us. I've fallen out of commenting lately and just doubled down on doing everything we need to to exit the US.
You guys had better be right. I'm coming there and I have the expectations that you've set. I've been through so much miserable shit. I kind of want to be left alone and silent for a while. I have so much negativity to get through. I don't want to alienate anyone, but I need to recover.
Hey David - the vessel is just that…the container. What’s inside the vessel is what you have some control over. If you want to take an active, self-accountable role in your healing process, then you’ll be good wherever you go. This place isn’t for most people… hopefully, if you feel called here, it’s for you. Only one way to find out… Send us a note to info@abecuador.com if we can help with anything.
Jesse, as a fellow New Yorker, you definitely have an accent!! In fact, I thought you were from Long Island 😆 love your show, guys. Keep making these videos!!!
"The Haters" is a correct term. I got called everything from selfish, to a traitor. It was strange, and I still have some people that don't talk to me.
Wow this was great fun listening today. Where are you going Crystal hunting, missed the location. I’m there in January and would love to add this to my list of things to do
Living our dreams? Or maybe learning to dream. Couldn't have one up north. A pay raise and a bigger TV? is that a dream? or was that about increasing the pace on our treadmill of a job. Who dreams of more status, money, stuff? Can't dream of a spiritual quality you've never experienced. Somehow we get to Ecuador. Then we lift a few of the veils over our eyes and see more.... or we never do. We start to see things never imagined or heard of, now we can dream. Now we have the stuff of dreams. The warm and fuzzy. Intangible. Anyway - Abundantes, keep sharing the day to day, family life, community. It "encodes" the hard to describe, the feeling of this experience.
On the points made around 57:00 I agree to an extent that the way quito was described by fall off map was a bit harsh, but having been the victim of several crimes there; I wouldn't describe it as safe either. He was more on base than people who talk about how bad things are in the US about shootings crime etc but then go live in ecuador or somewhere else dangerous almost talking as if they where refugees. The bubble comment I think is because the southern area is relativly safe so I think a lot of people dont really feel the gravity of the situacion. All of my local friends talk about how bad things still are
Thanks for sharing your perspective! Our discussion/feedback/response was more so about him sharing a well meaning opinion about a place that he’s never even visited. Everybody has different risk tolerances and individual fear dispositions though. We get it. Southern Ecuador isn’t for most people. Where in Ecuador do you live?
@@AbundantLivingEcuador north. The town is chill but the region is kinda f**kd. I've met a few mafia type people, but I think some just front like that to seem big
Ugh, sorry to hear that.… are you Ecuadorian or from somewhere else? How long have you lived up north? Ever been down south in the Loja region? Come for a visit!
We are coming to visit at the beginning of August and I’m wondering about the ATM situation… will we be able to withdraw cash while in Vilcabamba? What about Ecuador in general? Thanks guys! Can’t wait to be there!
Hey Jasmine - how exciting! Yes, I use my VISA ATM card here all the time. There are daily withdrawal limits in our area ($300 per day) to consider though. Also probably great idea to let you credit and debt card companies know you will be traveling so they don’t restrict your usage. Send us a note to info@abecuador.com with any questions and we’re happy to help if we can!
Great! That’s awesome. We are visiting to make sure we want to move there… here’s hoping 🤞🤞 it sounds like just what we want. Your podcast has given us such great insight into the country so we really appreciate it ❤
Ive been paying all from a USA atm card in Ecuador for 14 years. I suggest you get back ups for each of your atm cards. They'll have unique numbers so you can have a stolen card killed. Obviously keep them in different places. Also obviously check the expire dates. These are two lessons I learned the hard way.
I'm a 69-year-old widow responsible for my 83-year-old disabled sister-in-law and my 47-year-old high-functioning autistic daughter. I want to plan a vacation to Vilcabamba possibly this fall. Will we be able to navigate around town with my sister-in-law in a wheelchair? And is there anything I should know to keep us safe from the airport to our vacation accommodations? Plus, would you happen to have recommendations for accommodations? We need 3 individual bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. You're welcome to DM me. Thanks guys.
Ecuador is for "simpletons" No expectations, easy, carefree living, no judgements, no vain competitions or keeping up with the Joneses. Take pride in the small things, respect the land, live off what mother nature has provided, nourish your consciousnes, be humble for ALL THINGS and expect the unexpected to transform and elevate your senses. Beauty can be very cunning and deceptive, depending on what your brain perceives beauty as. If you go to Ecuador for "living rich status" and your def of rich is monetary, then in my opinion, it's not right for you. Nephilim in Ecuador? I'm coming! 😂

Crystal hunting!…. on my bucket list. Dying in Vilcabamba …. on my bucket list!👋see ya one day 😑
Crystal hunting in the Andes mountains of Southern Ecuador… what a fun experience!
All words I never imagined saying in that specific sequence. 🤣
Jesse, as a fellow New Yorker, you definitely have an accent!! In fact, I thought you were from Long Island 😆 love your show, guys. Keep making these videos!!!

Fears and doubts take control my life...im kinda weak actually 😊
Faith and fear have the same definition … choose faith!
"The Haters" is a correct term. I got called everything from selfish, to a traitor. It was strange, and I still have some people that don't talk to me.
😮 … happy you powered through?

@AbundantLivingEcuador American. 2 years on and off hopefully full time soon. Never been to loja, but will definitely visit at some point
Cool - send us a note to info@abecuador.com when you plan to visit. We can grab a coffee or juice. 😉
If i read motivation books,i would improve my outlook.
Who are you? Who do you want to be? What do you value? How to you want to spend your time?
@@AbundantLivingEcuador I'm a single and retired..
Yes… just questions to ask yourself and explore deeper while you’re enjoying retirement!

I'm afraid to live my dream in the dark! What's up with the recent massive power outage being reported?
Power was out for a few hours… little to no impact to daily life in our area. Hope that helps! ❤️ 🙏
