Como ecuatoriano te puedo decir que Cuenca es la ciudad más bonita de Ecuador. No es tan grande como Quito o Guayaquil que sobrepasan los 2 millones de habitantes. El clima de Cuenca generalmente es muy agradable, la gente es amable y su infraestructura hace sentir como si estuviéramos en alguna ciudad europea. Desde allí, en tus vacaciones, puedes visitar la región costera o la región amazónica en tan sólo unas horas. Saludos.
Very nice informative video about Cuenca, Ecuador. Thank you for sharing your experiences - Robert, an Expat that lived for 5 years in Cuenca, Ecuador.
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders I am so looking forward to it.. Wishing you guys a wonderful journey.. your daughters are adorable !!! Much Love and Blessings your way !
When we were there, we did visit Quito and Guayaquil. This was all before we had a TH-cam channel so we didn't create many videos. I guess we'll have to go back.
What kind of City that are you a talking about Ecuador in Cuenca because I think that you're making more confused because Ecuador is a old traditional Country Town ever because I've already been there already and it was so magnificent historic Beauty food nice view in specialty of a beautiful locations that many different people want to come to Ecuador likely time in because Ecuador have 100% of security safety and the most a very important that is how do you say medical health and medical insurance as well because everyone deserve of a free medical health insurance because this is the way that how they did it from the past of Cuenca Ecuador to the present and for the future because everyone need to have of a great responsibility so Ecuador is not a city yet because it's still growing you need to understand it very carefully that what you seeing hearing lesson of videos that some Ecuador citizens that Maniac people Webbie could become Ecuador citizen soon or they just have it right now but only time will tell
And one more thing if you have a chance to travel on Ecuador but not just Ecuador but I did Tire United South America allies and friends and neighbors it could be magnificent as well because maybe someday that you can visit because many other like America Europe Asia or the Middle East go travel anywhere on United South America or South America because this is the word I like to be United with all allies and friends and neighbors because we all like a family over there in South America but this is your choice anyway
That was very nice, i use to get a news letter from "International Living"show all these places for retirement and you can't beat the price, and it looks a lot better than some of the American cities, and you all look great . have a great time
We probably did, but i chose to live in Berlin, and i went on an investor meeting in Grindelwald, and was asked to move to Switzerland, and thought about it but Berlin was less expensive, but i fell in-love with you people and i want to meet you all in Nov.2018 Jerome From Florida
I was watching some videos and I found this, I hope you had a great time in Cuenca. There are a lot of interesting things here and a lot of history too 😊
Welcome to our country. Ecuadorians are very hospitable with people who come to work, live, enjoy, make business. I hope you all have a beautiful time in Cuenca.
try the site of consulado virtual at the ministry of foreign affairs by internet in there you will get all the answers reply soon. they speak spanish and english too.
Great video guys, I ove cuenca, the view is fantastic, the weather is great and awesome, the people is friendly, the food is cheap, I like your family, your family is carismatic and awesome, keep it up like this greeting from Ecuador
I understand this is a great retirement city. My husband and I had a child later in life. We are looking into retiring here. Our son would JUST be finishing grade school OR just starting High School. Any thoughts on the schooling system?
I'm not 100% sure about this. I do know that other families have moved to Cuenca so they must be good schools or maybe they homeschool. I would look on FB to see if there are any expat groups from there that you could ask.
Where is the exact location of the nice places you took the pictures? I’m going to Cuenca in September and I would love to go there. Please let me know. Thanks
Hi, what town did you cross from Lima to the Ecuadorian side ? If not mistaken you said Piura which is a 15 hr bus from Lima. But I do agree it’s cheaper to fly internally .
Cuenca es una ciudad que tiene estilo Europeo... cuando fui por primera vez sentía que estaba en Inglaterra, ese país tiene un lugar así, con esa arquitectura, Cuenca es hermosa lo malo es que todo es muy caro.
Para los Norteamericanos, no es caro en comparación al EE.UU. pero para el Ecuatoriano la vida se está poniendo cara. Lamentablemente la razón es porque los Norteamericanos están forzando los precios de bienes raíces más altos. Los dueños de restaurantes y mercados también se aprovechan de la afluencia Norteamericana.
We met probably a handful and saw many more on the streets. (It was easy to spot them because they spoke English) :) We also saw a few of expats in book stores taking Spanish classes.
So under $1000.... Could a couple retire there comfortably...modestly, on say $1500/month ? We are also looking at Chiang Mai, Thailand and the cost of living seems to be about 30% of what it is here in the states. I am guessing that Cuenca must be close to that as well...?
Yes and culturally I think you’ll find Cuenca more relatable. I found that Thailand is so different than what we’re used to. (that may not bother you). Eastern Europe is super affordable as well and so beautiful, modern and simply amazing! Not sure how visas work or how easy it would be to retire in one of these countries though.
Growing Up Without Borders We see different pros and cons fir each. We both speak Spanish and love cooler weather, so Cuenca is appealing. Thailand is more of an adventure, food is amazing, thai massages, super safe, better medical and dental...but hot...and we dont speak Thai. We may even try both.
Trying both is probably the best so that you won't question being in one place over the other. I agree about the food! Thai food is amazing but you can probably find this in Cuenca.
Thank you for your video. I am looking to retire in a few years. I will be making a journey to Quito in the summer of 2020. My question is how do you access money with a monthly pension? Most deposits are in US banking institutes. In my case would be a credit union. I know the currency is US dollars. Thank you
If your pension is deposited in your American bank account, you can withdraw money from any ATM globally. I'm doing this now (I'm with Bank of America) in Europe; I did it in Asia; and perhaps soon in South America.
Yes , Cuenca is a very nice city. I've lived there for several months on a couple occasions . It's really inexpensive (compared to the US ). But next time , please use a tripod to shoot your video .
It is a pretty región to live, unfortunately lately there is plp from Cuba, Colombia, Argentina, Peru, Venezuela and so on are pouring in because of the monetary system. Ecuador’s current currency system is America dollar so because of it it’s good and bad.
If anyone to hear this message this message is going to be for the tallest people travel around the world including visit in Ecuador because you need to wake up and smell the truth by now that some location that is so beautiful and some location or not very beautiful the show you off the beauty but not the truth but like you Taurus visiting Ecuador and parks around the world well you try to keep the people of South American Ecuador have a good spirit and I always be your hope for the people of the future in Ecuador not just Ecuador of South America allies friends and neighbors including loved ones marriage and family people that posted this video you just a tourist visit in Ecuador or parts of around the world well I congratulate you like you visit everyone the world different destinations different parts of smaller towns Village and cities so keep up the good work anyway and please just tell the truth that which part of you visit and what you location every part of around the world and always be United and always tell the truth that you visit everyone in the world including Ecuador goodbye and good luck
I hope that many people always have to enjoy in that United States of America in Ecuador the Rev different allies and friends and neighbors guide to travel any day they really want to go to like to spend of a sentence of a new destination and new the ways and to travel in specialty that always to have a safety that and make sure that everyone to do their homework and I know already especially your dad for retirement loved ones couples families and children to have fun and play together for each other but this is for everyone you know everyone could go anywhere on elastic friends and neighbors especially that is Ecuador and specially that you can go to kilometers item idea of different animals in States and other things that they have over there it is like the hottest one ever enough Island in Ecuador in Galapagos Island in Ecuador

This is more of a excited but the real truth is that how many of different people love to go to Ecuador on spending time of day honeymoon vacation or just getting retirement or start a new life in United State of America in Ecuador but this is only taking time and how many people want to travel or they're not ready to travel yet because they need more money to save and then I had to go stay retirement and then after that and something else that transfer for the job to go on a different jobs or something new job that they have in Ecuador but this is only time seriously and to have a responsibility that everyone that Ecuador is open doors to everyone in South America and to the world or I mean United South America it's your choice and good luck for everyone
Standard Time video of videos that in the people have posted this video in TH-cam but however that the only give you a questions and answer it but not logging of videos but if they did record it and it will be fine but this is Tony just visit in United States of America in Ecuador how about you people do you like to visit United South America
Promoting zoos is horrible. There is no reason there should be a lion in Ecuador for god's sake!! Don't teach your children that cruelty to animals is ok!
I don’t know about retiring in Ecuador 🇪🇨 that country still has a lot of social and economic problems...but I would really thing about retiring in New Zealand 🇳🇿!!! That country is very stable and quit Beautiful..also if you like the out doors and nature...New Zealand is the place...they have no dangerous or poisonous animals or plants,..very safe
We would chose New Zealand first also, if it was as affordable, but there is a considerable difference in the cost of living. We spent a month in Ecuador and never felt unsafe. We were in Cotacachi.
Ecuador is not Colombia, Ecuador is safe. It is not Canadá of course , u must to lock your doors, and take care were you walking as in the State, but Ecuador is preety safe. enviroment is great , people is great , infraestructures are preety good (Tnx to Rafael Correa) . Is mustly a family place to live.
no country is perfect my friend, you just have to adapt and deal with pros and cons, take a look at Germany the so called best country in Europe, nowadays extreme dangerous and full of middle eastern criminals all over the country, of course you willl hardly read this on newspapers, they are still selling the image of germany as a daydream country
Your daughter seems to want to take off her shirt. Why? Why do you let her? Please teach her that she does not have to show skin to share her intelligence.

Quito and it’s surroundings is beautiful too, baños, lake San Pablo, so many places to see in Ecuador, and the beaches too.
Thanks for an entertaining and informative video. Cuenca has been on my list to check out and you have inspired me.
Great! I'm glad it was inspiring for you. Hopefully helpful as well.

How is the education system?
I'm curious ,you taking your kids every where .what do you do for living ?
My contry is beatiful wolcome
So under $1000....
Could a couple retire there comfortably...modestly, on say $1500/month ?
We are also looking at Chiang Mai, Thailand and the cost of living seems to be about 30% of what it is here in the states. I am guessing that Cuenca must be close to that as well...?

Yes u can, Wells Fargo has partnership with Banco del Austro from Cuenca, u can ask them to Wells Fargo
If your pension is deposited in your American bank account, you can withdraw money from any ATM globally. I'm doing this now (I'm with Bank of America) in Europe; I did it in Asia; and perhaps soon in South America.
