Jared’s lif and how he ended up in Ecuador is a wonderful story. The life style that corporate America, Canada, Europe and to some extent México have planned and created for us, is inhumane and as you guys described it, is a Matrix. Jared is a lucky guy. Amazing podcast Thanks
Hi Jared. I am moving to Ecuador soon, but I have not gotten my criminal background checks and have them notarized apostle and translated. I was wondering if you could tell me do I need to get them notarized and translated into Spanish before I get them apostle or do I get them apostle in English and then just have them translated into Spanish after. Also wondering if you had to get anything else notarized apostle other than your FBI and state criminal background checks. I enjoyed watching a video with Jess and I am glad that you found a place that you can relate to . When I go for my exploratory I plan to make I plan to make Vilcabamba my second stop. Hope to meet you and the guys while I'm there.
Welcome Jarod. I think what is now a trickle of expats will turn into a flood. Re the events up north in PA. Getting your paperwork started now for residence doesn't mean a person MUST move, it only means they CAN move. If Ecuador sees a flood arriving they will turn down the volume, any country would. So if you believe an exidus from the USA might start get ahead of the curve, start the process, at the very least get a passport. Good luck to all.

Great advice Glen, can’t hurt! it was astonishing to see what a small percentage of Americans actually have passports!
