to me

You are one boring idiot in your videos.

We all know how you complain non-stop about EVERYTHING there. The motorcycle noise you bitch about is hardly noticeable in the videos. You are constantly running the US down for so many reasons YET now you are in Phoenix and say how great it is to be there as you can ride your motorcycle that you miss and enjoy the great food. Then you turn around and state you can't wait to get home to Ecuador. Probably due to the high prices in the US. Is there ANYTHING you won't bitch about?

Had you handled your finances better you could be living in the US in a nice area. You didn't retire until age 68 which meant you get FULL Social Security PLUS you should have a big IRA to draw from plus lots of savings since you worked in IT (or claim to have). I think you probably had a $40k job your entire life and weren't in I.T. else you'd have plenty to live on now. I also worked in I.T. and I retired in my late 50's. My salary when I retired was $106K. You also said you haven't had a woman in your life since 1988 (I suspect that's the year you got ED) so you weren't spending money on a lady. You should have a ton of money.

BTW, if you don't ride that cycle on a regular basis and just leave it in storage then the seals will dry out and crack. How stupid are you? Don't bother to answer. We already know.

Do the world a favor and take a swim out in the middle of the ocean and don't return.

Take care Mr. Negative.

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.



If you can't walk on water, freeze it
