As many expats in Ecuador know, Mark Bradbury has been the founding force behind the Facebook group, Manta and Manabi Expats and Amigos, with a force of nearly 7,000 followers for almost 8 years now.
Recently Marks health has taken a turn and we need to help him and his family.
I created this video asking for donations to help Marks family throughout these trying times. Irina is at Solca with Mark almost full time and Barbara is with Natasha at home. They have limited time to do the day-to-day things they are used to doing so we need to step up to the plate and help them out.
For those living in Ecuador who want to help, you can make a direct contribution through wire transfer from almost any bank here in the country to Irina directly with the following information:
Bank Name: Banco Pichincha
Beneficiary: Irina Leonor Murillo Vera
Acct: 2207434105
Her Cedula: 0704407592
Acct Type: Savings
For donations in the US, please use Zelle or any other transfer service and use my info as the recipient.

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

I don't give advice and I don't recommend anything unless it is based on my own personal, verifiable experience.
I want to be sure that the information I provide is accurate information and I don't want people to make a poor choice based on anything I say.
If one person comes here based on my influence and doesn't like it at all, then has to return to start all over again, I have failed.
