Thank you for the honest news update. My 1st year in Ecuador. Living in Cuenca. I'm out and about everyday. Feel very safe and well protected by the community . I a'm traveling to the coast for the first time . Early July. Originally from a small city in the Midwest USA. I will ride on a tour bus to learn the way. So next time I can ride my motorcycle. Plan to use the same safety measures I would if traveling to the US coast. With two exceptions. Not late at night . Not on roads reported to be unsafe. I have become confident in 99.999 % of the Ecuadorian citizens . I have accumulated many stories of my hosts bending over backwards to make my time here unforgettable . Thank you Ecuador!

Thanks for the updates! Always look forward to them

I was just thinking yesterday how easy it was to eat healthy in Ecuador vs the US. I am still planning to make the move there within the next couple years. Thanks for the update. PS Like the new studio. haha

Great job Mike! Thank you from Chicago

Thanks for a great update, and for publishing this with Spanish subtitles. We're like # 121.

First time watching… great wrap up! Just subscribed

Love the newsroom background 😀 Thx for the update!

Thank you so much Mike - for some real Ecuadorian news. Late yesterday evening, I was told the country was now completely locked off... No power anywhere and, no knowledge when/if it would come back again. It helps a lot with, just a little bit of common sence in our world and, I got normal daily videos from Ecuador as well. Thanks again and, enjoy the rest of your weekend 🌹🌹🌹

You definitely don't want to be on the highways at night. Another bus was held up a week or so ago--a big bus, not the vans that were held up a few weeks ago.

Thanks for your info…can you provide the link to the crime map?

Is it too dangerous for someone 78 years old to move to Cuenca? Is there private medical care for them? Will they constantly be scammed?

I read the New Yorker article.... cringe
