Description
I just recently retired and want to start traveling the world. I have two lovely female rescue dogs, one is 4.5 years old (15 kg) and the other is 1.5 years old (20 kg). I have a stunning direct Pacific Ocean front 2/2 condo with balconies on the 8th floor of an oceanfront condo with a gym, 24/7 guards, an infinity pool, and a jacuzzi in the international port town of Manta, Ecuador. Walk the dogs 2-3 times a day to the port (about 2 kilometers round trip) and back, rinse them off (they love running in the ocean), dry them, and feed them. The location is directly across from Mall del Rio, medical centers, restaurants, and banks. Transportation is cheap by bus, taxi, uber, or InDrive and will pick you up at the door.
I don't have set travel dates yet, as I am in Cuenca until April. Once settled back in Manta in mid-April, I will be able to start planning travel.
But in the meantime, I would like to complete an ART PROJECT, a mural on two walls at the Shekinah House Orphanage in Manta, so if you are an artist, please let me know! PLUS, I am replacing three sinks, three faucets and a toilet in my new condo, so if you're a plumber, please let me know!

What else ...
The cost of living is very inexpensive in Ecuador, and Ecuador's inflation rate was under 1%, the lowest in the Americas. Also, transportation is cheap by bus, taxi, Uber, or InDrive and will pick you up at the door. Mall del Rio, dining venues, the Malecon, hospital, banks, etc. are a block away.
