Join me as I sit down with Cesar, an Ecuadorian who spent over two decades in Hawaii before returning to his homeland. In this engaging conversation, we discuss his experiences in Hawaii, his adventurous sail from Hawaii to California, and his decision to settle in the tranquil coastal town of Ayampe, Ecuador. Cesar shares insights into his fish business, the surf culture in Ayampe, and his plans for the future. Whether you're an expat, a traveler, or just curious about life in Ecuador, this interview offers a unique perspective on living the dream in a beautiful coastal paradise.

Remember this folks.
A country might look good on paper, or on a YouTube video, but what about the “Chemistry” between you, the individual and the country and culture as a whole?
This is something we can’t know in advance. We can only make our move, dive in and test the waters…….and see how it goes.
