    He visto varios videos de muchos visitantes a nuestro país y me encanta como se maravillan/asombran de cosas que parecen tan naturales/normales para nosotors los nativos. Quizas ellos si aprecian la belleza que tenemos, no tanto como nosotros, los que vivimos aquí. Gracias por hacernos ver que tenemos un país maravilloso y hermoso.

    No matter what your videos are, they are interesting and fun to watch. Keep doing what you're doing. You guys are doing life the right way. I graduated from College, went straight to a new job, and have been stuck in a cubicle for 30 years. That's how NOT to do life. Thank goodness I have this channel to use as an escape !

    Spectacular spot and great video. The editing, music, info shared and views work so well together. My preference lies with cooler spots in the Sierra but the fact you were not sweating like crazy from the effort makes me think it’s not too warm or humid so definitely worth a trip one day soon. Just subscribed. Thanks guys.

    We started watching your videos when you posted your second video on Ecuador and we love to watch you two on your adventures. We love the "day in the life" and anytime you explore places we've never heard of yet. The lighthouse is surely a place we will visit when we go in December 2021.
    It's also refreshing to see and follow fellow Canadians to the place we are planning on returning to. 🇨🇦🇨🇦

    • @EricandSarah
      @EricandSarah  3 роки тому +3

      It is a very beautiful beach! We hit it on the right day as well. We found it would be hard to swim in because of the undertow, but it is beautiful nonetheless. 6.5/10

One of my favorite vids was when you posted one where you guys were just lounging around and showed us how you make coffee in the morning, sitting on the patio, etc. It felt so real and like we were right there with yall. I'm so interested in their cuisine. Can you show us more of eating and what you are eating? Also, more kitties and pups? :) Thanks!

  • @werkerbeesue
    @werkerbeesue 3 роки тому +1

    I like your content on this video. Info and adventure is a good mix. Can you tell me/others what you did toward research prior to arriving in EC? Also, do you intend on getting any type or residency visa - i.e. do you plan to stay longer than 6 months?

    • @EricandSarah
      @EricandSarah  3 роки тому +2

      Great questions! So we’re only staying for 6 months, so we didn’t go through the residency process. We have heard that you can do that quite easily from Ecuador though!
      As far as research went, we did research Ecuador in comparison to other South American countries. It had the following: easy currency conversion, extremely diverse (landscapes, microclimates, and types of cities/towns), and we were able to see ourselves here long term if we got stuck due to the global situation. However, we would have never been able to research everything. In our opinion, the best type of research is first-hand experience.
      If you’re not sure about Ecuador, come check it out for a couple of weeks! Then you can know a bit more about day-to-day living / cost of things.
      Hope this helps!

      Crazy eh? Time flies by when having fun :) We were up-to-date on most of our vaccines from previous international travel, so the only one we got specifically for Ecuador was yellow fever for the Amazon. If you go to a travel doctor, they can tell you exactly what you need :)
