Tired of Canada's ever increase political unrest and expenses, My partner and her younger boy are taking the plunge to Ecuador for a little cost relief.
We seek moderate temperature, a long growing season and a home that isn't rotting away in the rain, if this is possible. I hear concrete block homes act just like ovens and wooden structures decompose in the humidity and rain too fast. So I guess we are seeking a happy medium or something. We are purchasing to acquire the investors visa, but keeping it low cost to save money towards a longer more comfortable retirement.
I guess it will be a huge learning curve but I feel we are mostly up to the challenge, we just need to learn of the problem areas, and where the homes aren't likely to be washed away by torrential downfalls in the more mountainous regions (which are attractive to us by the way).
We hope to have boots on the ground to investigate in January, February or March, and will alot a large chunk of time to look around.
We also have considerations as shipping or just replacing items, how to safely humanely move our pets (2 dogs and a cat) I read some airlines allow pets in the cabin, i just haven't determined which.
