“I see retirement as just another of these reinventions, another chance to do new things and be a new version of myself.”
― Walt Mossberg
Chantal and I live in San Clemente now. This is our first Christmas among Ecuadorians. If last night is any indication, we’re in for a treat.
As I very quickly discovered, e-commerce in Ecuador is not at all the same thing as it is in Canada or the States. Three reasons why.
On 30 August 2022, Chantal and I signed away ownership of Casa Luna at Mirador San Jose. Finally, we are free to enjoy the retirement we dreamed of.
This is the actual dream, right? To live on some South Pacific shore and drink fruity punch with little umbrellas in it?
Of course, our move into Condominio Miramar went off the rails. There was not a chance we would escape this experience unmarked by farce.
I heard somewhere that you should never buy immediately when you retire to Ecuador. Rent, move around, find the right spot, and settle in.
