Since starting my Ecuador Shipping Company for household goods we have helped many fellow Expats with their shipping needs. We have been 100% successful so far and there has been no snags or hold ups in customs. So the next logical step was to look into cars shipped from out of Ecuador.

Many liked other small ...

Here it is Sunday morning in Manta, Ecuador and I just finished my 1st cup of espresso. Yes I have an espresso machine which I brought from Alaska with me. It is one of the few things I chose to bring down to Manta. However as I sit here watching CNN on my 40 inch tv eating my western omelet and toast, I would barely know I were in another ...
