    Hola , Moved to Cuenca 3 months ago . Had plenty of time to plan while waited to retire . It was very exciting time for me, But often didn't share my excitement because people just couldn't understand why . There's a whole world out here . Why not !

      Welcome to Ecuador. Been here for almost 3 years now and it's been the best decision! We're much happier here than we were in the US. Unfortunately, not many people will understand your decision. The world is vast and there so many experiences to be had. Enjoy yourself :)

      I constantly get asked that same question, why Ecuador? my answer is if you had ever visited Ecuador, you wouldn’t need to ask such a ridiculous question. Ecuador has captured my heart, the people, their kindness, it’s like I’ve been searching for this peace my entire life.

    Wow! You've been here since 20? I had no clue! I should love to meet you, too! I've been here 10 years and it feels like home to me. I hear an accent. Are you from Africa, by chance?

      We've been in Ecuador since 2021. But we just recently started making the videos. Wow. 10 years, Cuenca must feel like home by now. Hope to run into you sometime. and yes, we're originally from Ghana ☺️

    Thanks for sharing another helpful video.
    Do you by chance have a link to the Airbnb you initially
    stayed at in Cuenca?
    How's your Spanish coming?

    • @TheXplorasDiary
      @TheXplorasDiary  Месяц назад +1

      Yes, here's the link to the airbnb. The owner is called Rolendio, and has other clean affordable apartments.

      Hope this helps.
      And oh, the Spanish is coming along rather slowly ☺️

      Hablando de eso, ¿creen que en sus videos en el futuro que podrían publicarlos con subtítulos en español?
      Será más fácil de ver con mi familia.
      Gracias por la consideración y que tengan una linda noche.

    I want to travel Ecuador this year can you tell me the best place to visit

    • @TheXplorasDiary
      @TheXplorasDiary  2 месяца назад

      It's hard to tell you the best place to visit, it all depends on what experiences you're looking for.
      For coastal beach party vibes, you can check out Montañita.
      For city vibes, You can check out Quito and Cuenca
      For country vibes, you can check out Vilcabamba ( it's a popular destination among back packers)
      These are my recommendations, based on the few places I've been within the country.

    Your voice sounds a bit faint, you need to work on the volume of your mic or speaking a bit louder.
