Hi All,

I've been looking at early retirement in Panama or Ecuador for some time now. I'm grateful for this forum and all the great input. I look forward to scouring it for all the tidbits I can find before an extended visit there soon. Being a retired nurse and having traveled a good bit in Latin America I have acquired a rudimentary grasp of Spanish. I know that I need to study it in earnest if I want to enjoy a full and rich life there. I'm hoping to make a fact finding visit soon....possibly as early as May. Looking forward to getting to know many of you online. Thanks.

Hi Cheryl,

Their are a lot of people retiring down here for sure. I am happy to assist if you want any info about Quito or Ecuador. I run a little online travel agency down here. I am also happy to share what my life is like, even though I am not retired people seem to enjoy my perspective. Send me a private message if you want my email.
