The Pululahua Geobotanical Reserve is a one of a kind place – literally. It’s the only volcanic crater in the world that has farming in it. It’s one of two volcano craters with a town inside of it. We packed our bags and took the short drive from Quito to stay overnight in a collapsed volcano.

Quito, Ecuador’s capital, and the city that I’m thrilled to call home.
It’s not only a cool place to hang out, it’s also a really fascinating and unique place.
*I’ve bolded all the superlatives for you!
Ecuador is awesome. There are so many reasons to pack your bags and head to Ecuador right now. Seriously! Get your wheelie bag, start throwing stuff into it, wash your butt and head out the door!
No wait!
While I’ve outlined all the reasons to move to Ecuador in one of my past posts. Today, I want to trash talk the country. That’s right Ecuador, you’re not so hot. You’ve got problems and I’m here to point them out like you were on a red carpet and I was an aging plastic surgery addict.
In all seriousness, I love living in Ecuador, but maybe it’s not for you. Are you easily annoyed? Do you have a fear of volcanoes? This is my attempt at covering my ass so I don’t get angry e-mails telling me I ruined someone’s life.

I’ve been living in Ecuador for over a year now. My significant other and I have lived in North American, Europe, and Asia – we’ve traveled to over 30 countries – and I think it’s safe to say that Ecuador, right now, is probably the place that we have considered retiring in the most.
The beauty, the culture, and the benefits all play a major role in this decision.
I’m going to break it all down and tell you why Ecuador is an amazing option when it comes to retiring.

I did a bit of an experiment.
I’m always surprised about how much I can get for a dollar in Ecuador. Fruits and vegetables are cheap and plentiful, especially in the market.
So I headed to the market armed with ten $1 coins. My goal: buy a dollars-worth of 10 different items, and then head to the grocery store and see what those exact items would cost there.
Is it actually cheaper to shop in the market? Even for a gringo that can’t negotiate? What’s the difference in price? Let’s find out.

It is one of the cheapest places to live in Latin America.
