Platplat & Rabbit Emotes Pack & Finding Paradise Switch/Mobile Release. It takes a lot of time on the ground– I’ve spent years running all over the world building quality contacts while burning through crooks and incompetents. We made a simple (& free) tool to make your headcanons come true.

Like any real estate market, from Vancouver to Vanuatu, there are traps to watch out for in Ecuadoran property there will always be sharks waiting to take advantage of the uninitiated, which is why I recommend for people who are seriously considering expatriation to rent first, or deal with an absolutely trusted advisor.Ī trusted advisor can be difficult to find– foreigners tend to rely too heavily on Google and Wikipedia (which I regard as the black hole of accurate information). Using my “10-year rule” and looking out into the future, I’m not convinced that the country is on a very steep upward trajectory like Peru or Cambodia… but even if it stays exactly the same, it will still be a great place to spend some time and even retire.
