    That Jacuzzi! I bet that felt so good! Stunning dome you stayed in the first night. I would love to stay in one. Everything about the place you stayed at really makes me want to go there. I'm happy for you both to have been able to fulfil that dream from your bucket list 💖💖 We come from nature so it is important for us to spend as much time in it as possible. I haven't watched that film entirely. I tried watching it once and I only got through about 10 or so minutes and I had to turn it off as something came up and I never got back to it. I've been meaning to give it a go again. It's always in movies where they show us what goes on in Hollyweird and around the world. The ideas for most movies comes from what actually is in real life but make it look like it is just a story. Disturbing.

    • @TheXplorasDiary
      @TheXplorasDiary 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      OMG! That Jacuzzi was everything I needed and more. Especially, because we don't have a bath tub at home. It was so nice to be able to soak and relax in water. And YES, YES, YES to the nature bit. I've just recently re-awakened to how important nature is to us, and I don't let myself go too long without trying to connect with mother Nature. It's much needed. And Oh yes, I think Eyes Wide Shut is clearly exposing the nature of the parties happening in hollyweird 😂😂 I wonder what you'd think of watching it years later, with everything going on in the industry.

    • @naturesweety
      @naturesweety 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @ Aww I’m glad the jacuzzi made you feel so good!! Having no tub is hard hey? We have one but it is shallow and just not worth trying to have a bath in it when the water only goes up to your belly button. Ok it’s a tiny bit deeper than that but you get it haha Cleansing ourselves in the forest is definitely one of my favourite things to do. Here on Vancouver Island we have ancient trees in semi temperate rain forests. Perfect place to spend time 💖💖 I should try to find the movie tonight.

    • @TheXplorasDiary
      @TheXplorasDiary 5 วันที่ผ่านมา

      😂😂Awww, don't be envious, it's just a highlight reel😂. Life be life'ing everywhere. But Ecuador is truly a beautiful country worth visiting. The food (Lunch/Dinner) costs between $6-14, and the plates are quite huge. The Dome costs $120 a night. If you have about 2 meals during a one night stay, the total would be about $150. This was a partnership with them though, so we didn't have to pay that full amount.

Maximum withdrawal per session is $400 Hope this helps

    No social life in Ecuador? No health goals? No volunteering in Ecuador? No friends in Ecuador? No spiritual life in Ecuador? No book or blog to write, no hobbies, no goals, no vision? No plan for the present or future? You may take time to heal in Ecuador.--that is what you need. However, I don't need 5 years of aimlessly doing nothing, I'd go crazy. My soul needs more. My life has a purpose and I will complete it. "Man does not live by bread alone."

      Nope. There are not even enough jobs here for the local Ecuadorians. And jobs here don't pay nearly as much. So it's best for expats/immigrants to find online jobs in the US. A good amount of expats teach english online to supplement their income. Online gigs are a better way to go.

    I'm an old man - retired on SS in the US - looking for a frugal studio in Cuenca (!) none of these elaborate extravagant large spaces are appropriate at all ! An easy to clean and be comfortable small well furnished studio would be desirable. And obviously for a much cheaper price ! Close to 32 sq meters would be my ideal - and well furnished. = How much are 'these' (?) in the Cuenca area ? > A range would be nice -- thank you !

    • @TheXplorasDiary
      @TheXplorasDiary 11 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hi, I think you can find something like that for $400+ if you want a western standard fully furnished place. You can find something in the $300 if you want an unfurnished place. Unfurnished places are usually less expensive than fully furnished places. It'll all depend on your budget and standards. I'd budget $300 - $550 for a simple place like that.

      Yes, you can absolutely find cast iron pans here. The last time someone in Cuenca commented sharing you can find some in Coral here. I don't think you need to pack those heavy pans, much better to save that space/weight for your other essentials. Hope this helps 💐

    Your meal looks sooooo dang Yummers!!! Mmmm I've always wanted to try plantain, it looks delicious. You two really know how to cook! I am always so blown away by the markets there in Ecuador, so many different foods. It is beautiful to see such an abundance.

    Hi 👋🏽 I was gifted your video by the algorithm and I truly appreciate everything about it 💕😊 I’ve been planning to spend the winter in Ecuador and could not figure out where to start, but your video helped me to choose Cuenca first. As a black professional woman age 50, that doesn’t speak much Spanish and doesn’t have any social media accounts other than TH-cam, can you help with any tips for finding a safe and accessible place to rent for Dec and/or Jan? Thanks again for your lovely video ❤🙏🏾

      My first recommendation would be to create a Facebook account lol even if it's only to join expat groups on Facebook. They are super helpful in finding real estate, apartments and tapping into a helpful network of people who are already here. Jason at YapaTree, yapatree.com/cuenca-short-term-rentals/ also has some links to some short term rentals in some good areas, Jason speaks english and can help you find something. Hope this helps.

    Loved this video. Thank you. My wife is Ecuadorian and thought now in the States, have been thinking about moving to the mountains close to Cuenca. We visited Cuenca about a year ago and stayed about two weeks near the mountains of Cajas. It was amazing.

    Is it true that electricity is a problem in Ecuador?

    • @TheXplorasDiary
      @TheXplorasDiary 11 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yes, it's true. The country is currently going through an energy crises. There are nationwide blackouts, so it's best to live in a building with a generator
