    /// ABOUT US ///
    Hi! We are Eric and Sarah, a couple of Canadians currently travelling around Ecuador. We’ve been married since 2017 but have known each other since we were only 6 years old! During our last year of university, we spent 4 months in Honduras on a semester abroad and fell in love with Latin America. Since then, we began planning and saving to do an extensive Latin America tour. 2020 delayed those plans by half a year but during this time stuck in BC, we explored a new hobby (like everyone in the pandemic) of videography and photography. We are now using our new skills to document our adventures around Ecuador. Our desire through these videos is to provide helpful and inspiring content for other travelers while also showing people around the world how beautiful and underrated Ecuador truly is! Thanks for following along and please leave a comment to say hi!

    • @EricandSarah
      @EricandSarah  3 года назад +7

      Ecuador seemed like a good place for many reasons!
      - It’s a very diverse country in terms of geography and biology (they call it the country of 4 worlds). So there’s lots to explore!
      - they are on the US Dollar, which is easy conversion (not super critical, but was nice)
      - and actually one thing was that we heard their health care system was really good. So if we needed any medical attention, we would (a) be well taken care of and (b) would not be a burden on the system during the pandemic!
      We also made a Q&A Video that answers a couple more reasons why! It’s linked in the video, but you can also check it out on our page! :)

      @EricandSarah  3 года назад +1

      The people at Vancouver airport check-in. But this was almost four months ago now so Canada wasn’t used to people travelling other than for work so most people coming through had a negative test AND a signed certificate from a doctor. But thankfully we knew that wasn’t required so we discussed it and all was well :)
