I'm sharing a heartbreaking and expensive story about a friend here in Ecuador to deliver one critical message: DO NOT move here without proper international health insurance.
In this video, I break down exactly what went wrong, why he's facing an $11,000 hospital bill, and how you can avoid this nightmare. I'm not holding back because this is too important. I keep telling people to get my free "Ultimate Moving to Ecuador Checklist" and to listen to this specific advice, but many don't.
If you're planning a move to Ecuador, you MUST hear this. I'll cover:
- Why do you need international insurance BEFORE you arrive?
- The critical 90-day rule most people ignore.
- The reality of healthcare in Ecuador vs. the "paradise" myth.
- What's in my free checklist to help you prepare correctly.
👉 Mentioned Insurance Broker: Blue Box Insurance (Manta, Ecuador)
My goal is to help you have a successful move, and that starts with being prepared. Learn from my friend's costly mistake so you don't have to.

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.
