Rita Golden Gelman - Female Nomad Crosses The Globe Solo!
- Rita Gelman led a glamorous life. A successful career as a children's
book author with over 70 titles to her credit, connections in the entertainment
industry, invitations to the best parties in L. A... Then a vacation to
the Galapagos Islands awakened her long-dormant desire to explore the world.
She tried to fulfill her passion by getting a PhD in anthropology, but
years later found herself, "panting to go off somewhere." Finally she took
the leap and did it, on her own.

Crisis
investing in Ecuador: Rock-bottom property prices, fabulous ocean views,
and easy living - “Ecuador has it all,” I
said to the group of adventure-some International Living readers traveling
with me to my adopted homeland. “Beauty, convenience, and incredibly low
cost. And right now, prices are lower than ever.” I was having
little trouble convincing this crowd. We sat at a cliff-top restaurant
and watched the Pacific stretch blue and serene to the horizon. Miles of
empty beach lay in our view. And we had just returned from inspecting Mediterranean
villas that overlook a sleepy fishing village and the sea (on offer for
only $35,000). by Gary Scott - From the Best of International Living

Henshaw
in Quito - Expat Vernon Henshaw and his wife
Lorna moved to Quito, Ecuador, in 1999. Prices have risen, but the cost
advantages are still real and there's that sense of freedom he has.
Vernon writes, "We found our new home for about $22,000. A house like ours
(2000 sq. ft. in a gated community) will cost about $50 - 60,000 today,
but prices are still cheap compared with living in the USA. Our property
tax: $38.60, registration of our used car: $18.00; monthly electric bill:
$3.50; monthly gas bill: $2.50. Gasoline costs $1.00 per gallon.
Our maid costs $3.50 per day (3 days each week, and she's a great cook).
Most of all, I love Ecuador because of the freedom I feel. I can
do essentially anything I want to, without having to negotiate a plethora
of rules and restrictions. I can make changes to my house without
a building permit; I can put in all the glass I want without violating
a building code."

Investment Made Easy - The Sovereign Society -
My wife Merri and I were at Rosaspamba, Ecuador, our hacienda 5.4 miles
north of the equator as we watched a salmon sunset fade into plum wine
and fall drunken in beauty behind a razor-backed ridge. Stars awakened
like diamond beacons studded in ink. |
