Re: Ecuador farm sanctuary
I admire the tenacity and courage of so many people beginning their quest to find land and prepare to close future events. I feel we all should follow our hearts and listen to the voice of the spirit. I must share with you that I did the same in the mid nineties and it was quite a lot more challenging than anticipated (It usually is with all endeavours no matter how thorough one think one is) Especially in a third world country/different culture/language/etc.. Not to discourage anyone, but to incentivate more people to work together and maybe even find existing settlements (There are so many of them) or to join forces; than to re-inventing the wheel/making the same mistakes/loosing time and not using others valuable experiences/knowledge/contacts/infrasructure/tools. etc. etc. If you think something takes you a year, multiply easily by three in Ecuador. Do not think with the same standards as in the US/CAN/EU etc. Been there and done that and several of us spoke the language/even had a local in our team. Time is of the essence, use it wisely. Do not be afraid as there is nothing to fear but be intelligent with your decisions and move forward.
Blessings, love and light, Apollo
