Join me for a relaxed breakfast on my balcony in Manta, Ecuador—sunshine, low tide, and a little real-life catch-up. I talk about what it’s like settling in here, the “third world vs. developing nation” debate, and why a few comments on my last video hit harder than I expected. Homesickness is real, but so is finding peace in a new place.
I also answer a big question I keep getting: what is healthcare really like in Ecuador? From messaging your doctor on WhatsApp to getting actual house calls, to what happens when you end up in the hospital and how payment works—this is my honest experience and what I’ve seen others go through. Drop your questions in the comments and I’ll read them all.
