South African Parent Looking to Relocate to Cuenca

F
#1

As a South African considering a move to Cuenca, Ecuador, I am curious about the experiences of other expats in raising children in Cuenca.


I would like to hear from other expat parents about their personal experiences, both positive and negative, and any advice or tips they might have for those of us considering moving to Ecuador with children.

What are the advantages of raising children in Ecuador?

What challenges have you faced and how have you overcome them?

What resources are available for parents in Cuenca specifically?

I am also curious about the cultural and linguistic backgrounds of those who respond. Where are you from originally and how has that influenced your experience of raising children in Ecuador?

Do you feel that your cultural background has helped you adapt to life in a new country or has it presented challenges?

Does your family know a little bit of Spanish ?


All the best
