About this blog

For one, this blog is a journal of how we got to Ecuador. Included are all the immigration laws that are, or have been in force at the time of writing - whether these laws change or not, it is mainly about our journey. I write about all the negatives aspects of Ecuador, and NEVER just about the positives. I enjoy writing guidebook style all the way, particularly about the different regions we visit in this country, as well as, all our favorite places to eat, shop, etc.
