I am excited to be part of the community of bloggers and xpats.
I currently live in Kansas city Missouri and retired several years ago. Most of my working life I owned various companies and the last 2 years before I retired I was a stock broker.
I have been thinking about moving to Equador for several years and I am in the process of selling things I will not need so I can move there permanently.
I am still trying to decide where to live . I first thought about somewhere on the beach but having lived in the Missouri humidity I think I have settled on either Cuenca or Loja. I hope this forum will be of help in making the decision.

Welcome! Hope to see your family on the streets of Cuenca when I arrive!

BTW, is Cuenca also spelled Quenca? Or, is that another place?

I hope to have an old bike at some point.

Thanks for the post. Hope to see you and your family as well in Cuenca.
I am just learning Spanish so do not know if there is 2 spellings. I have been spelling Equador and I see also Ecuador. Noone has corrected me so guess it is ok.

Just FYI, the only correct spellings are Ecuador and Cuenca. People are just being polite.
