What is life like as an expat in your area?
When we asked people living abroad what life is like in their areas and how people spend their time, they said...
"The life is around the gorgeous beaches of Salinas itself, Chipipe and to a lesser extend Punta Carnero, as it is a dangerous beach because of riptides," remarked another expat who made the move to Salinas, Ecuador.
"Varied, work to family with strong family values, socializing from Casions, to fine cuisine to dancing Salas in the Barcelo 5 star and other locations on the main malecon. Also nice sports clubs, gyms are available, There are also nice drives to different coastal locations within 1 hour of Salinas and closer such as Montanita, Ayangue, and even closer such as Farallon Dillons in Ballenita resort," explained one expat living in Salinas, Ecuador.
