te agradezco mucho por enseñar lo lindo que es la ciudad, soy de Loja y vivo en Loja e incluso a mi me dio ganas de salir a pasear por la calle Lourdes
What stands out in your videos is your interactions with Ecuadorians which other content producers do not do. Respectful and in their language, showing their stores, activities, businesses, food and culture. You are a fine example of what expats should strive for. Your team is great and creating the best content out there.
Yantzaza not far from Loja. although my last time there I was mostly in Loja. I haven’t seen it for more than 10 years. Wishing you all the best, keep making videos ✌️
I love Ecuador, we were planning a trip to Cuenca as a nice break from the Snow but with they recent events my "wife" decided we should go to Arizona instead.
Carl is working hard to let everyone know it's safe in Loja. It is safe now and it has been. The crackdown on the trafficantes is elsewhere. I am sure he wouldn't expose his family to any danger. If I had his energy I'd be making more trips to the provencial capital. I might be going up in a few days to buy a guitar. I need less screen time and more time picking and strumming. Maybe I can make a "Ranchera, or Corido" about gringos in Vilcabamba. Tell the stories of our southward migration. Express in song how grateful we are to Ecuador for its welcoming embrace. Dios bendiga ecuador!
Looking at your videos make want to move back to my Ecuador. Here...TOOO COOOOLD! HATE THE COLD! ENJOY IT! There are too many artesanias. A lot of trash! I mean they will end eventually in the trash. I'm trying to be a minimalist!
Thank you! 😃I've lived in Ecuador for over a decade and traveled to some other Spanish speaking countries prior to making Ecuador home. I've learned the language while living here. Thanks for watching!
I'm going to visit hopefully before end of October. I'm used to spanish speaking people running around with firearms, so recent news isn't a deal breaker for me.
