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!

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?

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
 
If you have a bad day in October, have a slice of banana cream pie. And this tiny ad:
