Or you can simply hack the system and live like a local. stay tuned for our next video of a tour of our apartment in Southern Italy.

Silly Things Gringos Love to Do Abroad, But Not You

There are some really silly things gringos love to do when they move abroad. Yes, we gringos do some silly things....and no, we're not saying we've never done these things before. But, after being here a few years and understanding that these behaviors have ramifications, you realize it's time to give them up for good and start blending in better.

You can ask me anything you want...except That! -- Cuenca Ecuador VLOG

The young Ecuadorian waiter said to us, "You can ask me anything you want"! So, we asked him, "How much do you make per month".  hehehehe...We seriously asked him how he learned English without ever taking classes or stepping inside the U.S. Here's what he told us.  BTW, he was an exceptional waiter...very attentive to his customers.

The Venezuelan Effect in Cuenca Ecuador August 2018 VLOG

What kind of an effect has the influx of Venezuelans entering Ecuador had, if any? Venezuelans have been migrating to Ecuador since 2016 and curiously, statistics say violent crime has improved. Bigger-better police force accounts for the improvement. However, petty crime is still alive and well in Cuenca and if you do anything to make yourself a target, you will become a victim. 



Quito has more Venezuelans that live there and are trying to eke out a living for their family...so you're going to notice more of an impact over there than in Cuenca. There are Venezuelans that are passing through Cuenca to get to Peru right now where it has been said, "easier to find work".  



Since creating this video we are now finding out that Venezuelans (without passports) are once again allowed to enter into Ecuador using valid ID that is recognizable by the government of Ecuador. Source: https://www.efe.com/

Cheap Pickpocket Prevention for Hot Travel Destintions! VLOG

Cargo shorts are not necessarily going to keep you from getting pick-pocketed but ever since I got my wallet stolen on the Cuenca city bus back in 2012, I now have zippers sewed into my shorts and the zippers attach on the inside of the shorts and pants which prevents a pickpocket from getting into your pockets! That was the first and last time I ever got pick-pocketed traveling abroad!

Is Cuenca Ecuador a Copycat? Cultural Changes, Better or Worse?


Is Cuenca Ecuador a copycat? This is some of the cultural and political changes we've
seen in Ecuador since living here. At the end of this video, check out the video we made over 7 years ago, before we moved to Cuenca Ecuador about the "torn jeans" look in the U.S! What do you think about the "torn jeans culture" in the U.S? Is there more young people wearing holey jeans now or less?
