In Quito, where I live, nature is ever present, citing its culture, low crime rate, “middle class” feel and the cost of living is low, especially when you take high health care costs, utility bills, and property taxes out of the budget equation. When it comes to entertainment, Ecuador offers a diverse range of options. Biking, fishing, zip-lining, hiking, and rock-climbing are all popular and readily available. Related to the economy, the national currency of Ecuador is the U.S. dollar, so no conversion math to do. The top-5 criteria that contribute the most to a city's livability: 1. Peaceful place 2. Comfortable Climate 3. Safety 4. Healthy Environment 5. Well-served Being a representative democratic republic located in the northwest of South America, International Living recognise to Ecuador as the very best retirement destinations in the world in 2015. Twenty-five countries made it onto the list this year, and Ecuador gets the highest score. Living in Ecuador give one the opportunity to have, like nowhere else, all in one place. Notably because of their four main geographic regions: Cost, Highlands, Amazon and Galapagos Islands. My country gets practically the same amount of sunlight each day of the year. The sun comes up as 6 a.m. and goes down at 6 p.m. no matter what the season. Undoubtedly, a mild climate makes for comfortable living year-round in the mountain valleys, with a humid subtropical climate in coastal areas and rainforest in lowlands. The Pacific coastal area has a tropical climate with a severe rainy season. The climate in the Andean highlands is temperate and relatively dry, and the Amazon basin on the eastern side of the mountains shares the climate of other rainforest zones. 3.
