Lovely little getaway place

Hi, Everyone!

I am looking for a place where I can go for a few nights to rest; perhaps a massage and good food, not too far from Cuenca, because I really don’t like long drives. That is why Izhcayluma is not an option for me. Yunguilla? I don’t have to go on the weekend, and actually prefer it when it is quieter during the week.

So good people, if you have any ideas/suggestions, please share.

Looking for work – teacher or housework – Emilio

My friend is a trained teacher, capable of assisting your family with their Spanish lessons and sessions. She is also a capable house worker, dedicated to keeping your home clean and safe.

She is looking for work from 8 AM to noon. She is a 42-year-old teacher with two teenagers who is currently earning a measly $200 a month. Her husband suffered from leukemia for a long time and has now died. She has to repay medical bills for him and is struggling just to make ends meet on that salary. Her children are in school and she works in the afternoon but needs a job in the morning to provide enough income for the family to eat properly and have the bare essentials, and to help pay the bills. She doesn’t speak English but is able to use Google Translate. She can tutor, cook, clean, and do gardening or other tasks around the home or office.

On-line learning is a real challenge for youngsters and if they are English speaking with classes in Spanish, it can be even worse. Why not ask a real, live teacher to come to your home to tutor them? She has her own children, so knows how to reach a child. If you can’t employ her for a whole week, even a morning or two would help and hopefully someone else could employ her the other days.

If you have a heart to help, please contact me.

Best local cellular services for cost and quality?

Hello, new aspiring expat here looking to get a local SIM card so that I have service while out and about. I’m relying on wifi currently and don’t want to pay Verizon’s astronomical travel plan.

What do you experienced, and veteran expats use – cell service wise – and what do you recommend? Also, is there a best place to go and get this?

Thank you,

For fun, new free events you do in Cuenca!

Hello to all my Cuenca friends!

Some of you may know, and remember, the events that I did at various venues around the city such as Gringo Night, Trivia Night, (which I also hosted) girls’ night out, S.I.N. (service industry night), and more.

I hosted a decades night at the old DaBaccos, which was another huge success and many other events. Of course, now you know I’m doing Ladies Who Lunch, and Cocktails and Conversations, which have had great turnouts as well!

My point being, I know that there’s trivia nights around town, and I think one Gringo night which has not been successful thus far.

I want to bring these events back and create new ones for our community! There are many restaurants and venues looking to do exciting new things to bring in more clients and I was hoping that perhaps you all had some ideas to contribute to the above mentioned.

Need a housekeeper or qualified teacher? Emilio Morocho

Many thanks to those who have come forward to assist my friend. She still needs more jobs to help her cope.

My friend is looking for work from 8 AM to noon. She is a 42-year-old teacher with two teenagers who is currently earning a measly $200 a month. Her husband suffered from leukemia for a long time and has now died. She has to pay medical bills for him and is struggling just to make ends meet on that salary. Her children are in school and she works in the morning but needs a job in the afternoon to provide enough income for the family to eat properly and have the bare essentials, and to help pay the bills. She doesn’t speak English but is able to use Google Translate. She can tutor, cook, clean, and do gardening or other tasks around the home or office.
