Nueva Gorgona
Wish we would have brought an Amazon Firestick for TV, Small kitchen items and any electronics we might have wanted. Things we didn't need to bring, lots of shoes, a dress suit, the one I DID bring won't fit now, and dishes.
RENT FIRST before you buy. Rent for several months in several areas before you buy.
We currently live in a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom condo on the 17th floor at the beach
The first condo we found in Nueva Gorgona was through VRBO. We didn't know a lot about the area here, but we rented so if we decided it wasn't for us, we could always move to another area. After that, it's been by word of mouth that we have found places to live.
