Interested in sharing apartment or home with other female by Joyfv
I am a 61 year old female interested in sharing apartment with other female in either Cuencas or Salinas. I speak Spanish witch is my native language. I have lived in the US for over 40 years. Now I am ready to live abroad.
I will start my journey in Cuenca. I find the coast too humid for a lengthy stay. I live on the Gulf Coast, so the mountains appeal to me. I plan to visit the coast, of course and will be in Ecuador no later than mid April. Hopefully sooner! Read More

Starting a dog rescue anywhere in Ecuador seems ambitious. I heard a story about a woman who took in strays somewhere near Vilcabamba and then found out they were not strays! The dog situation is the most stressful part of my move to Ecuador. I ... Read More
Weather by dillclop
Hi all, Will be visiting Cuenca soon and wondered what the weather has been lately. According to the internet, it is rainy and in the 60s. I've visited before and found most days the rain was brief. Look forward to hearing from you! Thanks
You answered my post. I was thinking about moving anyway, but I think waiting was best for me. Yes, two friends will be traveling with me. We'll stay near the plaza. We will not have phone service, just email! Read More

Thanks for the reply. I don't, that's why I posted here. The internet says it is rainy all day with the temp in the mid to high 60s. Everything I'd read said it was dry season. Last time I visited it was the wet season and then it only rained a ... Read More

did you move o Cuenca alone? by dillclop
In January 2012, I visited Cuenca with my boyfriend and we planned to move there next month (July 2012). However, in April my boyfriend died suddenly and my plans are on hold. I do not have trouble meeting people, but wonder if moving there alone ...
