surferbill posted looking for health care / long term rental on the Peru forum on June 17, 2013:

Our first post. My wife and I want to have our eyes fixed via lasix while looking for a home in the Huanchaco area. We would like to communicate with anyone in the know about a good eye clinic for lasix. I surf and so we want to live in the Huanchaco beach area in a long term quality rental. Any help on these topics would be greatly appreciated.

I need to recharge my batteries and am looking to re-connect with some joys, such as eating great food, which Peru, and perhaps Lima in particular, has lots of. (At least Anthony Bourdain thinks so:-). I would rather not just come on a whim or "vacation", which I haven't done for years. I am an ESL teacher and would like teach (while I'm doing all that eating) and learn Spanish. Any thoughts/recommendations/suggestions? I would consider volunteering my teaching time... Looking forward to hearing from someone, Best regards, Karen

Hey Karen, My name is Cynthia and I am from Perú. I teach Spanish and sometimes I have people who ask me for English teachers. I think you can earn some money while you are eating here. Maybe I can help you also with homestay. Tell me how long you want to stay here and what kind of trip you are planning

From what I read like anything in life, like even getting a new job, it is critical to have a mentor. How do I find one? I am learning Spanish now. I do not like to gossip. How do I find a mentor so I can learn how to live there in peace and find a safe place to live? Thanks, Melinda (Ohio, USA)

okaaaaaaaaaaaaay......... Quillabamba is in the same area as where you are [ that is IF your in Cusco and that your really Sure - your in Cusco..... LoL ! ],,,,,,so,,,, your gonna still freeze ............. next........... you really only have to pass a border and return,, you can stay only for the time to have your passport stamped and return / when completed - you have 90 more days...... From what I have heard it is not so bad if you miss the 90 day deadline / there is a per diem penalty....... Look around for info about the Carnet de Extranjeria,, for a more permanent solution to residency..... pistachio..... Trujillo,,,,

Forget my earlier message! I had my city names wrong. I will be visiting Quillabamba, not Arequipa.

BTW: Your memory is even more deplorable than your manners. The Earl Butz comment was a repeat of an old RACIAL SLUR. Or do you know that and are as bigoted as you are devoid of class? Glad you're gone from the states. You improve the U.S. By leaving it.

If you are looking for a home in Ecuador, don't forget to check out what I call the triangle, Otabalo, Cotacachi, and Ibarra. All three cities are on the Pan American Highway, east of Quito. Otobalo has the largest indigenous market in South America and a well developed infrastructure with all the goods and services. Cotacachi is a major expat focal point. Unfortunately, prices here for food and housing are substantially higher. Ibarra is comparatively less discovered with very few expats and lower prices as well as a well developed infrastructure. Ibarra es muy tranquillo and it is here that we have chosen to live.
