F Baby Boomer with 20 years of homesteads looking for a friend on my farm in Ecuador.

Hello, I'm looking for someone who wants to enjoy life here on my solar powered small farm in the Andes mountains of Ecuador. I left the US in 2005 and never looked back. Built a homestead in Belize, and then two in Ecuador. I love the peace and quiet in nature, the pure river and air, and no chemtrails. The climate is perfect for farming year round. I'm looking for a big animal lover who will enjoy my equines and dogs.

Sounds lovely.  But I hope that your homestead(s) are far from any cities.  I read that things are pretty crazy down there in recent years.  Have you seen any of that?  Just curious...

Hi Matthew,
Thanks for your reply. The problems you mention are far far away in some coastal cities. This is a quiet, low population area in the Andes mountains where families have farmed for generations. Not far away is a small town that has hundreds of international expats who come for the cleaner environment, low cost of living, more freedom from government control, like no  building permits etc. Life is good. : )

Marcella,

I spent a month in Ecuador recently and I have a feeling it was in the town you speak of with hundreds of expats. It's a truly special place and I concur that it was very safe. I am considering going back long term. Would love to connect if/when I come back

I wish you well in your search for love!

Thanks for your kind message, Sara!
How interesting you were recently in Ecuador. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I look forward to meeting you if/when you return.
Let me know if you have any questions about in this country.  
Happy New Year to You!

Certainly sounds interesting. I'm a 42 year old male in the states and have had a desire to move a little more south so to speak. What's your life like in Ecuador?

See my description above.

Interesting that you started in Belize! Can you post a few pictures of each homestead? I bought the rig pictured in my profile specifically to be able to easily travel to C America and do what you did. WOuld love to hear more about your experiences. Will send you a PM as well I am very new to this site... So still finding my way around (and wondering why 5 year old posts are often at the top of my feeds lol)

Hi Joe,
I'm new here too, so I understand the learning curve.
Yes, it is best to PM me and you can ask questions there.
You sound ready for the homestead adventures you will enjoy soon.

Hi Michelle, I sent you a pm, apparently it didn't go thru so I'll see if it goes thru after I post this

Hola Michelle

Fascinating - I also left the US in 2005 - Moved to El Salvador - Loved it there.. (Sure, there were 'pockets of crime' - like Everywhere - but it was easy to not be 'targeted' - just don't walk around 'looking like low hanging fruit / a target', and you're good. Mostly, just Industrious, Ingenious Family-oriented People, focused on Living, and 'blooming where they were planted'. And I found very much the same down in Ecuador. (been there Twice - Love it there, also.. No doubt you will recognize these wonderful spots...



..and 'El Mirador de Turi' overlooking Cuenca, with the Andes in the background, there..

Amazing Vistas, down there.. Few more snaps, for the benefit of Others (but I'll just 'link', so-as to Not choke up Your thread with My Pix.. Valle / Cañon / Lago etc..

I think the thing that strikes Any 'visitor' the Most, is just how Green and Lush everything is - Everywhere, even in just the 'off-areas', outside the Cities, ie: Cumbayá (I think..) Anyway - Point made, yes?

But I can only Imagine just how Amazing your 'Finca' must be. Posting this here - Not as an 'Application', per-se.. But.. As I crest my years closing in on 60, I find myself - once again - at a 'crossroads', so.. I Am saying 'Hmmmm...' And - Absolutely Love both Dogs (here's My Two Clowns..) and Horses..

We had an Arabian when I was a teen - but I hadn't the bux to buy a 'Proper camera' back then, so.. I Drew 'im in Pencil - This was Rajii - Absolutely Love having 'silent conversations' with them via their Eyes - it is an Unmatched experience.

Anyhoo, this is all 'For what it's worth. I am slowly - but Steadily - still recuperating from a rather Painful 'Relationship Flat-Tire' - with a woman who - Claimed - she was All For building a Homestead together, but.. When it was Time to 'strike the match' / Make it all Happen, well.. She bailed.. Turns out, she wasn't 'over the Ex' or something, but.. Ehh, is what it is..

Like I posted elsewhere - when "Life" knocks you down / burns you Up - Just like in Nature / Permaculture - ya just gotta Get Back Up, and Keep Growing Forward.



If any of this 'resonates with ya'- PM is fine, then we could email / chat from there. Y Si - Hablo Español Muy Muy Bien. Cheers, Michelle...
