Introduction

Hello Everyone, I'm am a 36 year old American traveling alone, looking to permently relocate. I lived in Costa Rica all of 2014, and went back to the U.S. for all of 2015, and now I've been in Colombia since mid January of this year. I am about to leave for Ecuador on Monday 6/6/16. I have several ailments and I'm tired of western medicine not working. I have been treating myself with holistic healing and plant medicines for the past couple of years...this is another reason I'm coming to South America. Holistic healing and plant medicines are uncommon, illegal, and/or expensive in imy country of origin. I have very basic conversatinal Spanish, especially if I can lead the conversation. I have a background in sales especially in the financial arena, but I no longer what to sell things at a commission and manipulate money for a living...but I will need to find work soon, so beggars can't be choosers...but if they could...they would like to teach English or do charity or NGO work. I'm also going to be looking for a place to move. I'm going land in Quito, but I am not crazy about extremely large cities. My father is going to be looking to buy a house and or farm in Ecudor soon and he wanted me to check out places with high concentratin of Expats....I prefer high altitude plesent climate to hot sandy beaches. I've been checking out this forum for a couple days now I'm excited to see how active it is and helpful everyone is. Hope To Hear From You, Neal Allen Catlett
