Manage episode 442534136 series 3593603
In this episode, I share the story of Paula and her husband, who made the difficult decision to leave Manta, Ecuador, after facing increasing crime and safety concerns. After moving to Manta with dreams of an affordable retirement, their reality quickly changed as they experienced cartel-related violence and a growing sense of fear. Despite living in a luxury condo on the ocean, they found themselves constantly on edge, unable to enjoy the life they had envisioned. Eventually, they sold their property and moved to Madeira, Portugal, where they now live without fear. Their journey sheds light on the rising crime rates in Ecuador and the tough choices expats sometimes have to make.
