Hi All. Moving to Ecuador southern coast in 2 months. by BG777EMT
Excited to be moving to Ecuador in the end of April. Still have a million things to do beforehand, but having a great time getting ready. Like the many other moves in my lifetime, I'm winging it with no prior visit. Figure that if I like it (lots of ...
Thanks for the very kind offer of a ride, Sparticous. I'll happily accept and will gladly buy you some gas or a beer or both. I like that you've stuck with it for 4 years and have your own business down there. After being my own boss for the past 13 ... Read More

Hi MB, I'm just kinda winging it myself. If I can't sell my business and come up with enough cash to buy a house and qualify for residency, then I'm just going to become a nomad and wander from country to country. If you want to move to Ecuador in ... Read More

Ranger Motorcycles by Txsbigfoot
Have been looking for a Ranger Motorcycle, the model that looks like a Harley dresser. Went to 3 Coral stores, but none found. Anyone know where I might locate one? Is there another dealer here in Cuenca?
Ha, imagining you standing outside with your weed whacker for days. Did your bike show up over the weekend? I wonder what the laws are for buying and registering a motorcycle while still on a tourist visa. (You have your residency, correct?) Yes, ... Read More
Proof of return/onward travel upon entry? by suprsweets
Hey I am traveling to live in Ecuador 2/20/13. Many things I have been reading say that upon entry into Ecuador I WILL be asked for a proof of onward travel. Others say I they probably WON'T. Does anyone have any experience with this?
Okay, thanks Chris! Read More

Hey Mike, tried to find a pic of the Tundra, but all the links were for Toyota's. I can see your point, even if it falls apart right after the warranty expires, transport for only a little over $100 a month seems like a bargain. Are there any old ... Read More

Thanks Amy! I think I'll stick with the bus and save the $80-90 cab fare, to buy a surfboard. I've read a few stories about people getting robbed by thieves working in partnership with cab drivers. How do you tell which cabs are legit...or can you? Read More

Alberta Chris, how much cash do they consider "enough to get by on"? By cash, do you mean actual cash or just a bank statement? Thanks, Brian Read More

Hi Mike, Did you end up buying the Ranger 200? Is it the dual sport? I also plan to get a small bike when I get to Ecuador...currently have a Harley 1200 and an old Ninja 750. Hate to sell them, but oh well, on to the next adventure. Read More
