Hi all, i am sadly leaving Lopez, I've spent the last 6 months here and it been a great experience, being volunteering, teaching English and from time to time working for a travel agency as translator. Meet really nice people both local and foreigners. If anyone needs any info about volunteering or anything in Lopez let me know. Also if anyone is moving to Lopez or around, i would give away an old moped i used to go around.
And i would leave my apartment by this month, if anyone interested i said the owner i would help getting someone in, as they were also really helpful with me, in front of the sea, with all facilities. How were you able to stay for six months? How much is the rent. I am interested.
Hey Judee, i did some collaborations and meet lots of beautiful people, the question is how am i gonna be able to leave? For all those proposing accomodation offers or looking for accomodation, i would suggest you to consult the Housing in Ecuador section. It might help. Karen, Expat. I am off now to my last whale watching tour Hi Maella, can you brief me on what you liked so much about Puerto Lopez? What's the humidity like? Puerto Lopez is part is inside of the national park Machalilla, you have the whale watching season, the manta ray in nearly all their types, bird watching in Agua Blanca, one of the best beaches in Ecuador, 'Los Frailes' national park Its quite a laid back place, so its their people You could get a bike and ride opposite direction from the sea 10 minutes and you find yourself in the forest.
It has its problems, its dusty, their little motorbikes are quite noisy, and there is not much choice on music, but that's part of the game. Hey Maella, for some crazy reason, I thought you were Spanish, from Spain , i just checked your profile to confirm and see your a Scot! So how's your Spanish? Is there surfing too? Can you elaborate on that a bit?
Did you ever experience any threats? Were you feeling 'safe' in all situations? I am Spanish, i just change it. I don't feel any more the humidity, you get used to it in a while. But when i got here i remember it was not such a problem, maybe a pair of months between hot and rainy season it's uncomfortable, but that's it, nothing like south-east Asia You got great surfing in Olon or Montanita also heard about Canoa but dunno, i don't surf, i prefer staying under water.
