Is Retiring in Ecuador the Right Choice? A New Video Helps You Decide.

July 18, 2010 - PRLog -- Crucita, Ecuador. July 18, 2010. U.S. expats Tom and Lynn Saunders of http://ecuadorbeachfrontproperty.com/ have distilled the hundreds of questions they’ve received from prospective investors and retirees about getting to know the central coast of Ecuador into a new 44-minute video, available for instant download for only $10. This video enables those interested learning about in coastal Ecuador to form their own impressions, save weeks of research time online and to get a feel for the country in a way that is not possible through static websites, email messages, blog and forum posts or biased reporting.  The video package comes with a 16-page resource guide and discounts for use at 29 hotels, restaurants, and tour companies along Ecuador’s central coast, from Manta to Canoa.

Most people can only imagine “the good life:” Owning coastal real estate, relishing in daily feasts of exotic fruits and delicious, freshly caught seafood, enjoying an afternoon siesta in the shaded hammock, sipping a cocktail from their oceanview balcony as the sun sets over the water, and being lulled to sleep and greeted each new day by a soft coastal breeze and the gentle roar of breaking waves. Yet, more and more retirees are discovering that such a lifestyle is indeed within reach, even for those with limited pensions and savings. The small South American country of Ecuador truly has a remarkable ratio between a high quality of life and low cost of living. In fact, this year International Living has named Ecuador the number one place in the world to retire abroad.

It all sounds so idyllic, but what is it really like? Would my wife and I actually enjoy living in a Spanish-speaking, developing country? What are the roads like? What are the people like? Et cetera, et cetera. The bewildering array of so many unknowns often stop would-be expats in their tracks.

The best way to get to know Ecuador is to go there and experience it for yourself. But there again lingers the gnawing question of “how do I know it would be worth it?” So before investing precious time and money, interested parties must immerse themselves in the tedious, time-consuming, and often overwhelming process of sieving through all the information available, including travel guides, online forums, websites, media, etc.  Wouldn’t it be great to get the information you’re looking for in a concise, entertaining, and unbiased format?

Tom and Lynn Saunders, U.S. expats of http://ecuadorbeachfrontproperty.com/ have set out to provide such information to prospective visitors to Ecuador, whether they are looking simply to travel or have interest in buying property as an investment or for retirement.   “We have collected video footage of all the important aspects of life in coastal Ecuador, from modes of transportation, roads, stores, beaches, hotels and restaurants. All this useful information is distilled into a 44 minute video. We don’t try to glorify it…we really want people to see it for what it is. If they like what they see, come on down! If not, they can rest easy that they haven’t wasted their time or money,” states Tom Saunders.

This new video, the first in the new “Get To Know” series, highlights the popular central coast of Ecuador, beginning with the city of Manta and ending at the popular surf hangout of Canoa and covering the small vibrant cities in between. More “Get To Know” videos of other popular travel and retirement destinations in Ecuador will be available in the future.

The information-packed video is paired with a 16 page resource guide that summarizes key information for each of the coastal towns highlighted in the video, including a general overview and orientation of the town, transportation options, local attractions, safety information, and links to hotels, restaurants and tours companies that are offering discounts to those who have purchased the video. These coupons include literally hundreds of dollars of savings for those wanting to get to know the central coast of Ecuador.

Maybe the best part of all is that the “Get To Know” Manta to Canoa video package, including the resource guide and discounts, is now available for only $10, half of its regular $20 value.

For those who are simply curious or for those already making their travel plans, be sure to “Know Before you Go!”  Your $10 investment will certainly be worth it. The video package is available for instant download at: http://ecuadorbeachfrontproperty.com/Videos.html
