Thank yall, for sharing and for having great videos with great details! Fyi I remember that movie called The Stuff! 😄 I guess I'm a weirdo too!! 😆 but im in the process of trying to make my way to Ecuador 🇪🇨 asap!!
@@TheYarbros yes you are and I appreciate that !! You guys have great insight and never forget to be mindful of the black perspective. Your guests just left it out is all .
Who edits your videos? They are so professional. Also, thank you showing and visiting the Afro Ecuadorian population. I've been listening to their music for years. You guys have sold me on Ecuador. Racism and neo Nazis ism is growing in Europe, with no exceptions, not to mention the war, but I'm happy to see our African American brothers giving Latin America a try. I really love what you guys are doing. I hope you enjoyed the coffee on me.
Wow, thanks for the coffee and the compliments! Ecuador is a beautiful little country that we see getting more and more diverse as we travel the coast. Scary to hear about Europe though....and thanks for the editing props as well. Its a slow process but I enjoy it. -Safe travels
I will definitely have to visit manta , because I have friends there. My heart is Mexico though. I haven't visited Maris a or San Miguel but it's on my list . Thank you guys , your awesome.
Hey there, You both look so happy doing what you want to do. This is so inspiring 🤗 Have you ever thought about starting your own tourisms or even real estate or leasing agents for a fee to nomads especially folks who don’t travel out of the country often and are novices. You’ll be great, you are incredibly knowledgeable and cultured. I’ll use your services, and refer others! Think about it. When I watch your videos I feel like I’m learning so much about the community, food, services, how to travel abroad etc. Anyways, Always glad to see that you both are happy and doing well. 🙏🏽
Hi Guys I made it to Cuenca and my stay was to short, I shall return to my new home, Thanks guys for your wonderful content hopefully you’ll make it to 50k soon, you deserve it for sure my tribe.
Great video. I recommend you to go to Baños, there are a lot of things to do there, like go to the "miradores", rafting, you can take a tour to Amazon jungle from Baños, the crystal bridge, giant swings, zipline, Animal Park, and much more. Baños is just a few hours from Quito.
Great video! Lots of people don’t realize how diverse the country is. So many great ethnic restaurants. Some of the best middle eastern food I’ve had was in Ecuador.
Damn you guys are speaking my language . All I want to do is relax do what I want to do watch movies not be forced to go do something or to work if I don’t want to , just peace , and both people must be on board with this and if you can find someone who is ? You hit the jackpot
I’ve never been to Salinas Ecuador for New Years 🎉 but I’ve been to New Years in Puerto Vallarta Mexico and was the best experience I’ve been to for New Years party.
I love how you share all this great information and personal opinion about Ecuador, this country definitely has to improve in Safety and criminality, after that, I believe Ecuador is one of the most beautiful and complete countries around the globe, at the moment I'm living in Florida, but working hard to get an apartment by the Republica del Salvador Avenue in Quito, probably in couple years, for now just visiting every 6 months, and enjoying every stay. Please people if are you seeing this message, don't be afraid, visit Ecuador and its tourist places and you will not regret it, just don't forget, do not be so trusting and do not go to unknown places, Ecuador has a lot to offer, and if you like it, you can stay to live, we have the dollar and the visa process is very easy. All you need is Ecuador.
Hey, you guys! About that question…I’m with April. I was taught when a host makes a dish for you, the polite thing to do is eat at least a small portion of it. By doing this, you acknowledge the time, effort and cost your host put into preparing the food. Allergies aside, it’s okay if you don’t like it; It’s not okay if you don’t taste it. 🙂
I hope to come there in January and I travel solo would love to run into you people. I was there in Guayaquil and Cuenca about 3 weeks ago. I want to see Salinas
Woah okay, you don't live in Guadalajara,Mexico anymore? I'm trying to figure out which countries are the safest and most affordable to live in (within the next 5 years). So I"ve been LOVING your videos. I may be watching out of order lol.
I would definitely have to say wow that something I’ve never had before I’ll try it then that way I am excepting but if I don’t like it I won’t finish it
Love how you support each other’s channels! I wasn’t familiar with them and will subscribe. Regarding the “eat or not to eat “ question: I absolutely detest grits and anything that resembles them. So I don’t offend anyone, I just tell people I’m allergic, which is true because just the sight makes me nauseous.🤣
Hola amigos, are you back in Cuenca? We are a team of 4 retirees have no friends here yet would love to meet y’all been following your channel for some time now, looking forward to meeting you
If someone offers you food and you do not know them at all or don’t know them well, I think the most gracious and polite thing is to take the food and to try a bite (unless you have health risks). I don’t think you have to finish it. But if it is someone you know, I think it is perfectly fine to tell them you would prefer not to try what they are offering.
Thanks for the peek into the area. Love it! As for whether not a "friend" can decline food offered at a house, I completely get why someone might not, and I have no problem with it. Personally, I don't turn it down, but *pats his ample belly* it takes a lot of calories to maintain this figure, so I'm not turning down food. 🤣 Now, if it's something a friend is allergic to or otherwise doesn't fit their dietary habits/traditions, then it's absolutely fine to decline, no arguments.
Amazing interview, and subbed them too! Favorite quote... "friends are the family you choose for yourself." (already subscribed to you with my other email, so did it with this one too -- it's a 2fer towards your 50k LOL)
i think its better a little far away from the water cause of the tsunamis you need to be more cautious not to close to the water its just to take precautious i have a place in Tonsupa put i dont have it so close to the water
I think it is often considered an insult to refuse food that is offered. But if you really can’t bring yourself to eat something I would say I have an allergy to that item. And then eat everything else with a smile.
I have been watching a lot of videos from the Testigo investigative channel that the Jalisco cartel has moved into nine provinces and the body count is staggering.
Great video 👏🏾 I am vegetarian so I would not eat anything that could make me sick 😬 Though i was offered some caterpillar sauce once in Zambia, I couldn’t finish it but I really tried 😅
That's a great question! No, I don't...at least not in general. The cities you stated are much safer than most of Mexico but Ecuador's legal process leaves a lot to be desired...they almost empower criminals....so it largely depends on where you are in the country.
@@TheYarbros super helpful! Thank you so much for answering my question. If it's okay, I have one more question. We're seriously considering Oaxaca or Querétaro. Internet speed, safety for women, cost of living, walk ability (flat terrain), weather (we want a stable climate around 70 degrees), reptiles and scorpions are things we consider. Are either of these places suitable?
@@reneamitchell7975 Not the Yarbros, but I spent some time in both of those places. We went to Queretaro for two weeks this past February, to look at neighborhoods and let my wife experience it. I love them both. Queretaro is higher. I also love Quanajuato and even Leon. Like Aspen weather. Safe (though GTO is getting less so). Oaxaca is lower and in rainforest jungle. Close-ish to Hermosillo beach, which can be nice. It is quite a gastronomic hub, so those looking to eat and drink well will be very pleased. I only spent three days there, but it was beautiful. Aside from food, however, I didn't see a lot of other life activities. Both would be lovely bases to enjoy your time in.
@@BOULDERGEEK you're so kind for responding. Thank you for your response. They both sound lovely. Oaxaca being near the rainforest makes me question it, however proximity to the beach sounds wonderful. We are planning a trip and will find a way to add your suggested cities.
We haven't seen a ton no....a few salad restaurants and I believe we saw one vegan restaurant on the strip in Salinas. There are very many vegan options here as fruits & veggies are the central part of Ecuadorians meals. Rice, beans, plantains are the core foods here.
Bro if you dont want to eat it you dont have to eat am from Ecuador too i live in nyc put i have my place in Tonsupa salaverry 4 the duplex just be cautious with this people their and move fast and stay cool
@@TheYarbros Tkt 😺 yeah I’m looking to retire in Amsterdam but I’ll be doing House 🏡 Sitting 1st to see where exactly I want to live out my days in peace. Check out Stephanie Perry UA-cam channel…
@@TheYarbros I think then that it's fine to refuse. I understand its a custom in some places to feed everyone, but in doing so the people offering the food should ask if there is anything a person doesn't like. I personally always ask my guest. If I've already got food going I invite people to stay. I put the food on the table and ask them to help themselves. I always say if there's something you don't care for, I won't be insulted just take what you like.
You decided on Salinas? Such an odd choice. Great place to own property and rent out to make money or go for a nice weekend or time off but not to live.
Great interview! Thanks for the info from both of you couples👏🏾👏🏾 side note: Am I the only who thinks he looks like Jeffrey Osborne.🤷🏽♀️ “Can you wu wu wu?”🎶
He makes the comment "you can call it Lebanese food... you can call it Arabic food" unfortunately because Syria and Lebanon have a lot of strife between them, especially Christians Lebanese versus Syrian Shiites versus Syrian Sunni factions. You tweaked a nerve by calling his food Lebanese but he handled it well.
Cheap rent - cheap food and a comfortable frugal studio would be just fine as a retired old fart. --?-- Visit the beach a few blocks away or even further with plentiful good affordable street food so cooking isn't necessary all the time ! --- Nothing extravagant just thrifty and comfortable - thank you. > Is that doable there (?) or do we have to go to the mountains ?
Nice, that was one of the pluses to living in Cuenca. Btw my husband and I are loving these videos. Y’all are helping us decided where we want to visit next, so thank you. Also, the next time y’all are in Cuenca, we got y’all for sure! 🙏🏾☺️
Alot of questions here...subscribe and check out the catalog....you can dr8nk the water in Cuenca and that's it. Lots of elderly couples live all over Ecuador. Thanks for watching!
@@TheYarbros April’s right, I’m just joking. It can be considered highly insulting in some cultures to do that. I’d just have to try not to toss my cookies, that might be even more insulting. 😆😂😂. Also, I know you guys are growing your channel, and I saw this video that I personally liked, so I am sharing it with you. Maybe a new tip or two you might like. ua-cam.com/video/zZQpmq-uRp8/v-deo.html
I have offended some of the best. Although I may take something to not be rude, I won't eat anything that I don't want to and I don't bow to peer pressure....🤷🏿♂️😂
On eating/not eating food you don't like as a guest, I think you need to read the room, as well as guage how much you really dislike the item. For instance, I do not really like green beans, but I am always willing to eat them. However, I would rather die than eat lima beans.
You have the right to say “no thank you”, but if I were the host then I’ll feel kinda bad that you didn’t eat all the food I made specially for y’all to eat. 😅

I see that Yall met Mi Friend Amy Prisco, I once lived in Salinas, Ecuador
Yes we’re glad we got to connect with her!
As a Hispanic American with Ecuadorian and Colombian parents it’s never okay to refuse food when they have especially made it for you.
Social norms give me the blues.
If they offer it directly, take at least a little. If it is part of a large spread and you are dishing your own, maybe you could fly under the radar.
SLUM VILLAGE rendition was Awesome 🤩 Salud y Enjoy 🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️
😂🤣🤣 Having fun out here!
Excellent interview!

Depends on your preference but the most popular cities for expats/retirees in Ecuador are Quito, Cotacachi, Cuenca, Manta, Salinas, and Guayaquil.

Nice, that was one of the pluses to living in Cuenca. Btw my husband and I are loving these videos. Y’all are helping us decided where we want to visit next, so thank you. Also, the next time y’all are in Cuenca, we got y’all for sure! 🙏🏾☺️
@@ajinamaia4262 We'll definitely look you guys up!
Did you sell everything and move to Ecuador. Can you drink the water there. Are you on your own? How about an elderly couple?
Alot of questions here...subscribe and check out the catalog....you can dr8nk the water in Cuenca and that's it. Lots of elderly couples live all over Ecuador. Thanks for watching!
First!
I’m Lebanese so good to know. Wondering why a lot of Lebanese are there…
We are curious too...I should have asked my new friend.
We even had 2 Ecuadorean/ Libanese descendent presidents and two majors of Gye and Quito ( Nebot Saadi, Mahuad).
You guys didn't like guatemala to live?
No, not to live.
You say THANK YOU to the bananas and you swallow them down. (excluding medical reasons).
When one must sacrifice comfort & joy for decorum...never been my strong suit.
I don’t care whether it’s ok, I’m not takin it!! 😆😭😭😭
The looks I got around the table 😅
@@TheYarbros April’s right, I’m just joking. It can be considered highly insulting in some cultures to do that. I’d just have to try not to toss my cookies, that might be even more insulting. 😆😂😂.
Also, I know you guys are growing your channel, and I saw this video that I personally liked, so I am sharing it with you. Maybe a new tip or two you might like. ua-cam.com/video/zZQpmq-uRp8/v-deo.html
So you two got tired of America and rolled out to another country . What were the main reasons both of you decided you had enough of America ?
The US crumbling from the inside out and we wanted to see the world.
I have offended some of the best. Although I may take something to not be rude, I won't eat anything that I don't want to and I don't bow to peer pressure....🤷🏿♂️😂
I usually don't either but my wife shot me this look at the table and ....i happily at some bananas 😂😢
1. Just say NO! I tried to stomach STRONG olives in North Africa & started gagging!😂
2. In Spain they disrespect dietary restrictions by serving pork.
Just say no....w/ a smile. lol
On eating/not eating food you don't like as a guest, I think you need to read the room, as well as guage how much you really dislike the item. For instance, I do not really like green beans, but I am always willing to eat them. However, I would rather die than eat lima beans.
Sounds great.
You have the right to say “no thank you”, but if I were the host then I’ll feel kinda bad that you didn’t eat all the food I made specially for y’all to eat. 😅
Makes sense but it was a banana....lol
@@TheYarbros I can’t 🤣 thank you for making me laugh today
@@aguac6161 our pleasure!
