I am excited to come and investigate Ecuador as a place to live. I have studied many of the cities and am currently inclined to want the beach (visit the mountains not live there). I am from NC, USA. I plan to fly to Ecuador Sept. 7th. I will likely rent first until I really know the lay of the land. If you have any suggestions or local contacts for real estate and / or expat connections, I'd deeply appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Sterling
