What's your experience living in Latin America as a U.S. Hispanic/Latino American? (alien.top)

I'm really curious to hear everyone's experience and thoughts about this.

I am considering moving to my family's home country, Ecuador. I've been there every summer and I'm very comfortable and familiar with it. I've been there with family and i've traveled by myself and I have tons of family there. Also lived in Mexico for many years as a digital nomad.

But I wanted to hear about your experience living in your family’s country of origin and how did it feel? Also might move with my family, too.

Also asking for input about living in Ecuador as an Ecuadorian-American.

Thanks.

Dating is like 10x easier, way more matches and in person interaction success. I found making friends much harder since I underestimated the cultural difference between the native born locals and I. I could make friends with other DNs or travelers, but hard to form connections with many of them coming and going.

I was able to travel around the weekends for hikes, mountains, beaches, etc. I was able to spend time with my extended family that I have not seen for years. Good experience, in the end I missed my friends and the amenities back home.
