Could an American live tastefully surrounded by Ecuador on $400. a month,lodging,food...etc?
Answers: that depends on what you expect...if u come by yourself to a big city like the one I live within (Guayaquil), a decent room could cost you from $150 and you can find typical lunches (the largest meal is taken between noon-3pm) from $1.50. If you plan to cook yourself, food supplies are really cheap compared to American prices (we export fruits and vegetables). Gas is around $2 per gallon.
You probably could if you really stretch. International Living is a apt resource for living abroad on a budget. They publish profusely of free info on Ecuador too. You can email their local contact, he will give you adjectives the info you need. http://www.internationalliving.com/count... 13 bucks a time...nope....what are you going to do for medical insurance?
