Expat meeting locations

7 years ago

Hello expats, I'm new to the forum, but have been reading up on Ecuador for awhile. I'm 3 years from retirement in the states yet, but, rounding the 4th turn for home, looking to get out of estados unidos for a lower cost of living. Looks like Cuenca would be a great place to start. Rather large expat community which is good. Would like to know where and when local expats hook up. I'm learning spanish now and would want to take in the Ecuadorian culture. I think that is the right thing to do. Definitely want to be on the good side of the Ecuadoreans. Are there specific neighborhoods or areas of Cuenca that an expat should avoid when looking to settle there? Would need access to a good vitamin/health food store that carries CoQ10, amino acids and a good all around multi-vitamin/mineral combination. As long as I can get these nutrients, and take them daily, I won't need any heart prescription medication. Heart issues do run in my family. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Craig W.
