The Silly Reason WHY My Gringo Friend Won’t Move to Latin America! // Cuenca Ecuador VLOG

Tens of Thousands of Gringos Move to Developing Countries for THIS Very Wrong Reason, You Too?

If you ask expats "why" they moved to a certain Latin American country, whether it is Mexico, Panama, Ecuador, Colombia, etc...95% of them will tell you for THIS reason. However, a good portion of them leave and go back home" and that's because they were enticed to go there. When a person is lured by hyperbole and not told how something really is, they will have certain expectations already conceived in their mental state; the person will base all of their thoughts upon this hype and will envision something not the way it really is...and well, you know the rest of the story, disappointment will obviously set in, sooner or later...

This is not a new concept to us...if you want to read more about this subject, take a look at the article we wrote back in 2011 about not moving somewhere based on price: Do Not Move to Ecuador Just Because It's Cheap!

World's #1 Offshore Retirement Haven Dominican Republic, Panama, Mexico, Ecuador EXPOSED

World's #1 Offshore Retirement Haven Dominican Republic, Panama, Mexico, Ecuador EXPOSED.  We're talking about ALL the countries that are continuously touted; they just all wouldn't fit in the title.  What is an offshore retirement haven? Without having to look up the definition we would define a haven as a safe, protective place to go when times are bad or when trouble strikes. But in these touted havens, nothing is for sure and when IT hits the fan, will all your money be invested in an offshore property, or do you have other eggs nested somewhere else? Just a thought?

The Biggest Mistake Gringos Make, But Not You - Discover Cuenca Ecuador VLOG

We're shopping for medicinal herbs today in Cuenca Ecuador and enjoying our day. In this video we offer a little commentary about the biggest mistake (unintentionally) gringos make when they go abroad. We probably made this mistake too when we first moved to Cuenca but we quickly realized it's not the way to live in a developing country.

Come Live in the BEST Retirement Paradise on Earth!

What Would the PERFECT Paradise BE Like? Below Video is the article.



       


As much as retire abroad magazines (RAM) love to turn a place into a paradise with their glowing reports, we all know there is no such thing as a “perfect place” to live. All cities in the world have their pros and cons.

We make our perfect place by knowing ourselves, choosing to have a good attitude and by adapting, and then it can be paradise.  However, just for fun we have put together a perfect paradise according to several different “quality of life” categories, extracted from countries known to be the best at or near best.

What would the best paradise on earth look and feel like?
The perfect paradise would be like this:

• Postal Services of USA

• Internet speed and connectivity of South Korea

• Food of Italy and Mexico

• Availability of health food and natural products of USA (but cheaper :))

• Availability of food and its cleanliness of Norway

• Crime and Safety of South Korea

• Beauty of New Zealand

• Public transportation of Hong Kong

• Yards (green spaces) of USA

• Outdoor sightseeing and exploration of USA

• Weather of San Diego USA

• Real estate market of USA

• Health care and medical services of Singapore

• Sports cars of Italy

•  Watches of Switzerland
  

• Online Shopping of USA

• Laissezfaire of Turks & Caicos 

If we’ve left anything out, feel free to add it in the comments below…



Whenever a travel magazine or person overstates the good qualities of a city or country, remember that along with that comes a dose of reality.
 

Take a look and you will see that many of these countries we mention above that have something super great about them will also have other things that are not so great. 
 

Think about this: we’ve listed 11 different countries and likely haven’t even scratched the surface of what could be added to the list from other places to make up the biggest baddest, best earthly retirement paradise. 
 

Until the next article, take care and have a great week.
