Is Ecuador a viable alternative to Colombia in this moment? I'm having visa issues in Colombia and I might have to leave. Should I consider Peru or Brazil instead? |

I think Ecuador might be a good shout. Some good parties in Quito and sounds like quite a nice expat community. Teaching opportunities are better than in most other cities in the region, I would say.. The other cities that spring to mind are Rio and Sao Paulo. Quite dynamic places to live.. |

Yea, I think Quito would be the best bet... the climate seems rather agreeable based on what I read, and I could even volunteer for a while in the right situation until I learn how the work siruation goes there.
HLJ, do you still post here? I'd like to know your thoughrs. I'll PM you just to be sure. |

I liked Bogota a lot more than Quito. Even Lima is better IMO. Also, for secondary cities (any large city that is not the capital), Medellin> Guayaquil, easily. |

Yes, I am currently giving Lima some serious thought. You get 180 days as a tourist without paying extra. Sounds like I could figure out sonething there while I wait to get back in Colombia.8 |

Bogota is really low on my list.. wouldn’t live there long term. If better than Quito it would be interesting to know why! |

I'm in Bucaramanga. I absolutely love the size of the city, the food, the weather, and the people. I and many others will be sad if I end up having to leave...
Lima would definitely be interesting for a while though. |
