Ecuador
What should I pack when moving to Ecuador?
We asked people living in Ecuador to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"1. Flents Ear Stopples. The best product available for when you are in noisy places or desiring to sleep well. 2. For motorists: bring your still-active Drivers License and any required certification from your DL state. This way you can get an Ecuador DL without taking tedious Spanish-language driving classes to 'learn' what you have known for forty years. 3. Some English-language reading material. When your Internet provider cuts off your service temporarily without advising you in advance for reason/s you did not anticipate .. you'll have something to read at night for the several days it takes to get your service back on," remarked another expat in Ecuador.
"More books - not the Kindle I was given --personal effects, small paintings, items you love at home (small and transport friendly) Nothing in 2nd category," said a member in Quito, Ecuador.
