After 30+ years together, we've decided to sell almost everything and go digital nomad! We're evolving our American dream to one full of adventures, new destinations, and as much food and coffee as we can handle!
As we get rid of all our "stuff", downsize our life, and sell our home and vehicles, we'll share the background behind our decision to start this adventure and tips and tricks on how to ensure we can afford it and live comfortably. Our goal is to share our experiences living in a destination 30, 60, or 90 days at a time.

Our Medellín, Colombia food tour, Sunday walk through the city, and Comuna 13 visit were fantastic!
#travelcouple #digitalnomad #genxtravel
In our recent visit to Colombia, we stayed a few days in the bustling city of Medellín where we scheduled a food tour, took a walk around the downtown on Sunday's Ciclovia, and visited the artistic hot-spot of Comuna 13.
Check out our latest video where we share adventures that include great food, friendly people, and the heat-wrenching story of how Comuna 13 reinvented itself from one of the most dangerous places on the planet to an artistic haven.

Our Favorite Parts Of Visiting Seattle, Washington.
Переглядів 642 роки тому
This is a memory video that shows some of our favorite memories from our visit to Seattle, Washington. We hope it provides some inspiration for other travelers who are planning a trip to Seattle and trying to identify fun activities, places to visit, and things to do in the area.
About flushing the toilets that depends , if you live in an old apartment complex or an old house you need to put the paper in a básquet just for the reason you explained, old piping system but on the next houses definitely NO and one more thing having small bills or change it’s because there are many fake currency coming from Colombia specially on large bills so Ecuadorians are actually are very careful. Just aside note for UA-camrs I know that you only point out pros and cons each place you visit but as a person that have traveled a lot actually Europe is not different and United states the same, just go to the Bronx , certain parts of Brooklyn and even upstate New York the living conditions are Horrible, lots of ghettos, rotten apartments and very dangerous. Sorry but I like for all UA-camrs to be a bit more FAIR , I still think that Ecuador in general it’s a very beautiful place and overall a bit safer than here where you have homeless, war veterans with PTSD with no home, people with mental disorders walking around hurting people for no reason, drugs, and schools shooting, even President Trump almost got killed by a 20 year old kid, I rest my case!
Correction! There is good toilet paper and Kleenex in Ecuador, next time try Super Maxi they have all different kind. Love Cuenca ❤️
Hi, I am Ecuadorian thank you for visiting. We do have good toilet paper try Supermaxi next time!! Safe travels!!
Thanks for clarifying! We'll check them out when we return...and we will DEFINITELY be back to visit your beautiful country!
That looks like Diego. He's a fabulous guide!
@@sweetart9905 thank you for refreshing our memory. It was Diego and he was such an amazing guide and representative of Cuenca. We enjoyed our time with him and appreciate him showing us around :)
Great discussion on pros and cons of Cuenca especially for being there for a short visit. I spent 3 months there last spring and am getting my pensionado visa to move there this fall after being back in the states for a few months and comparing my life here vs. there. I can't wait to get back to Ecuador!
Best of luck with your visa and the move back! We love Cuenca so much!
Welcome to Ecuador 🇪🇨
About the toilet papers it's something different in every place, some people put in the toilet and flush the water (I think it's better), but others put in the basket, for me as Ecuadorian that is disgusting.
Great video as always! I still remember the one where you going downhill in those bikes … life is beautiful, specially when you travel :)
Cuenca has three major supermarkets throughout the city -- Supermaxi, Aki and Tia. All of them sell Kleenex or Familia brand tissues that are extremely soft. They also sell three-ply toilet paper( triple hoja in Spanish)... hope to see y'all back here in Cuenca again!!!
We LOVE that you shared this info with us. Thanks for clarifying and helping those who are considering spending time in Cuenca know that their tushies can be comfortable. We will DEFINITELY be back to this lovely city :)
Population is actually between 500,000 and 700,000
Thanks for clarifying! It's great to see Cuenca continue to grow!
@3:04 That is like Panama. It seems that the money is older, though. I have received $10 in chanbge (40 quarters).
@@tutornotepad tons of Sakagawea dollars and half dollars in use in Ecuador. Might be a great place to find older coins;)
@@seananddebgo yes, here are plenty half dollars coins from the 70's in circulation
My house is on sale in California to move and retire in Cuenca... I visted twice and love it also the weather is so beautiful too.
Good luck with the sale and enjoy Cuenca!
Consider renting your house, not selling it, until you are 200% sure that Ecuador is for you. Please.
Awesome recap! Going to Cuenca for 1st time in three weeks for 11 weeks to see if my retirement home in 2025.
@@JCMovingtoEcuador Enjoy the exploratory trip! We hope you love Cuenca as much as we do!
@@seananddebgo thanks! Optimistic about it.
First 🎉 I'm arriving to live in Cuenca on Tuesday 😮 Packing now
Woohoo, getting closer!

Thanks for the info. Arriving 30 July !! ❤

Go Cuenca!!! I'm arriving July 30th woot🎉
Woohoo! I'll be there August 18th for first time.

@@msbeecee1 congrats! I'm going for 3 months to make sure and if love will go back to states to work on visa and return after a few months in 2025. I was living in Oklahoma last three years but now waiting to go in Southern California. Wow you so close to going!

Hello friends. Nice video. I really like it. Thanks for sharing information about my city. Enjoy your staying.
As a Venezuelan living in Kentucky, I hope you have the opportunity to visit Venezuela, as it is right now may not be the best place to live but the wonders will always await you.
@@douglasgrillo Sean has visited Venezuela in the past and loved it. Amazing people, great food, and natural beauty. We can't wait to visit together in the future.
I'm heading to Cuenca Ecuador
Good for you guys!! This is awesome!!!
Saludos desde USA. Me alegra que les guste 🇪🇨...
Can I suggest growing your channel?
LATAM Miami to Cuenca
@@BPe-ie9je We've had great luck with both JetBlue and Latam so far.
Did you have any trouble with the altitude?
@@JohnKaman Great question. Sean doesn't really ever have any issues with altitude and didn't have any problems in Cuenca. Deb does run into issues occasionally in the Rockies if we don't take time to adjust. The nice thing about taking the bus was it allowed her that time to spoke acclimate. That, combined with plenty of water and some Advil, and she didn't really have any issues.
were the empanadas baked?
@@BPe-ie9je they were fried. Nice, flaky crust, white cheese/onions inside with sugar sprinkled on top. Yum!
was garage sale worth it ??? Here,,,people want items for 'quarters'..... one step above free
Very encouraging to see you guys sell everything and embark on this journey.
I was in Cuenca in 2022 for three months. Crime is everywhere. Every shop has an armed security guard in front and they told me themselves how dangerous it is for regular Ecuadorians (not tourists). When it comes to no fees on US$ transactions. That’s absolutely not true. I have a bank account in Ecuador and paid an exchange fee because although they use the U.S. $ IT IS A DIFFERENT COUNTRY as the bank told me. Get your info straight before publicizing it.
WOW! You were here for three whole months two years ago. Maybe you should get YOUR info straight. We have been here since 2012 and haven;t come close to any crime and we are out and about walking day and night.. Every shop does NOT have a security guard. To get money at my bank's ATM costs $.52 and to use my card from the US costs $1,52. Are you sure you were in Cuenca?
Since guns are illegal in Ecuador, no store (or even cops) are ARMED as you claim. You were also here for a very limited time during three months when the world was still in crisis from the pandemic. Quit being a fear monger. At least we have never had a mass shooting which is now more than 1 a day this year in the US.
Thanks for sharing happy to hear all +++ things about Ecuador..🇪🇨
Sounds like Andres was your guide.
Wohooo subscriber #100. Moving Cuenca later in year, thanks for the info and motivation 🎉.
@@JCMovingtoEcuador thanks for subscribing! We have more Cuenca expedition videos coming :)
Just watched your vlog and all I can say is after living in NY, actually Long Island for 35 years I have now been in Cuenca for 9 years and it truly does have quite bit to offer as well as been voted 8th best city in the world for medical care, doctors and hospitals!
@@derekkoonin3460 it's such a gem. Wonderful people, great infrastructure, and plenty of activities. We can't wait to get back!
I went to Ecuador last year but not to that area. I want to go back!
@@debbiefisher8596 Cuenca is definitely worth the visit! So much history and scenery to check out. The people were so friendly and the food was amazing!
Too bad it got so expensive. Was there in 2009, retires could afford it. Now only for the wealthy.
I admit I was never there before 2022, so I am sure prices have increased, but expensive? Definitely not. We purchased a lot there and plan to move soon.
Cuenca is the city of four rivers (not three): Tomebamba, Tarqui, Yanuncay, and Machángara. For expats the elevation of 8,500 feet is too much for some. We're fortunate, it is no problem as we love the city's architecture, culture, people, walkability and public transportation. For disabled and over 65, Tranvia costs $0.17 per ride. We still drop into Hotel Victoria for their great $5 house red and escargot!
Thanks for the clarification! We didn't have any issues with the elevation, either, but the bus ride up probably helped, as opposed to flying in directly. We loved everything about the Hotel Victoria and the food was so good!
K State. Go CATS
Umm @ Sean and Deb Go, I love your videos, but please....... Realize I'm just trying to help. Llama is pronounced, YaMa, llama the way you pronounce it means lick! It's not Kido it's KeyToe now drop the E, Guayaquil is WhyAkeyl as close as I can get. It's NOT Tommy-Bamba. I think this one is a loss? Tow-me-Bamba, yup, the above should be it or close to it! 🦙🇪🇨🤝🇪🇨🦙 PS, There is much more to Ecuador than Cuenca. You're lossing out if you think that's it and doing an injustice to a magnificent country. Thank you.
I love Cuenca. I think Ecuador is a very underrated country. Hope we can visit there soon again. Thank you for reminding me the reasons why I miss it so much!! ❤
@@chabeli6804 couldn't agree more! We're looking forward to exploring more of Ecuador!
So happy you are here informing us on Ecuador. Is it ok to move there now?
While Ecuador has had some unrest lately, it's all about being cautious and careful. We feel comfortable about visiting and exploring, hopefully others do too.
Great video and a very charming couple! I'm from Quito, but live in the US for the last 20 years, Cuenca is a magnificent and a great point to explore Ecuador and Andean Culture in general, perhaps the most important trait of Ecuador is its mega-diversity (people and nature), and how close each ecosystem is from each other. On top of that, you have a multitude of endogenous nationalities living next to each other with their own language and culture. Just look at their attire, some of them have white hats, or white pants, or different poncho colors, which means different nationalities, it will take you some time to process all in... but that's exactly the experience that you are going after - just sign up for everything, as Ecuador is one of the most incredible countries in the world to interact with nature, and if possible visit the Amazon Jungle (it's cheaper than the Galapagos Islands) try to go to Cuyabeno Lake in the Yasuni National Park (in the north), and if you are really into an 'Indian Jones' type of experience take a tour with an experienced indigenous guide to "Cueva de los Tayos" (few hours east of where you are) only visiting the moon can beat that ... there is a National Geographic movie about those caves with Will Smith. I am so looking forward to see all your videos and who knows, even seeing you on a chicken bus sometime - those are fun!
why didn't you fly into Quito, connect 45 ,in later to Cuenca, Latam out if Miami?
We actually love bus rides as part of our travel. It gives us a great way to see the region. We'll definitely fly into Cuenca on future trips :)
Cuenca is a jewel. Every big city has challenges, as does Cuenca. However it definitely retains a comfortable, magical quality that can enhance your daily life.
Couldn't agree more!
Suggestion! You should make a video of Cuenca, instead of just talking about it! Thanx
We added quite a few photos and videos, the intro is a bit long and we'll adapt for future videos. Fast forward a bit and see what you think about the photos and videos :)
Travel all over west coast of South America the only place that was robbed by the police was Ecuador
That doesn't sound like a great experience! We had a great experience in Cuenca and will be visiting some of the coastal towns in future visits. Hopefully, we won't experience anything like you did.
When are you going to Scotland? That's where my people are from. Take me there by proxy! ❤
Were starting in South America, but will probably do Scotland, Ireland, and the British Isles in a year or two. They're visas are a little more stringent, so we'll hop between the UK and Portugal/Spain. It's definitely on our radar :)
This is awesome, Sean! Excited for you guys.
Thanks, Cam! Exciting new chapter in life :)
🎉
So exciting! Congratulations. Can't wait to virtually tag along with you on this next phase of your life!
We're happy to have you come along on the journey!
This is so cool! I can live vicariously through the two of you! I'm looking forward to more of your adventures.
