Lives in Cotacachi

About

I'm a Navy brat who's lived all over the U.S. and visited 40 countries. I've chosen Cotacachi, Ecuador, as my home for the last 4 years. My passion is sustainability, sharing Ecuador with others and helping newbies make an easy transition here. Eagle and condor represents the joyous synthesis of divergent cultures, psyches and ways of living--the fulfillment of an ancient Peruvian prophecy.
Interests: photography, creating beauty, spirituality, interior design, living rge, organics, sustainability, pacha mama

I'm looking into Ecuador by Gendotte

Hi, I'm Mike, and from what I have been reading, my lady and I can do pretty well in Ecuador on our combined retirements. As I see it, we probably will not import much in the way of household goods, will probably rent at least for awhile, and ...
