Una Nueva Vida - A New Life: A Rejuvenated Enthusiasm in Cuenca, Ecuador Hardcover – May 31, 2024

Considered by many to be the most authoritative and informative book about moving to and living in Cuenca, Ecuador, the author provides over 80 of his professional-quality photos.The second edition of “Una Nueva Vida – A New Life, A Rejuvenated Enthusiasm in Cuenca, Ecuador” gives you an even clearer 'picture' about life in this historic mountain city.It is about moving overseas, and it addresses every issue and concern for anyone, especially the Baby Boomers, who are at the age when visions of retirement are a primary thought in their heads.This book’s focus is on people reaching or at retirement age, though it applies to all ages, including digital nomads, who are greatly increasing in numbers.Ecuador is welcoming people to a highly affordable and beautiful country that is the most biodiverse in the world per square kilometer.Ten million Americans are living outside the United States, and that number keeps growing at a rapid rate.A huge reason for this book is that a growing number of Americans do not have enough money stashed away to maintain their standard of living. They will need an alternative to living in poverty or fear.A huge reason is the cost of healthcare in the U.S., which often wipes out families. The U.S. is by far the most expensive country in the world for healthcare costs, and not a highly rated one at that. Meanwhile, Ecuador has very affordable healthcare, with Cuenca being ranked one of the best cities in the world for healthcare.You will learn what it takes to live in a foreign country as this retired journalist of over four decades goes into great detail about moving to this highly popular city for expats, including: “Social Environment,” “Housing,” “Health and Healthcare,” “Transportation,” “Green Spaces,” “The Arts,” “Food,” “Consumer Goods and Services,” “Finances,” “Fellow Expats,” and “What It Takes to Make the Move.”Vargha is not selling anything so what is presented is as objective as possible without any hype. It is why there is a chapter dedicated to just crime, including the drug war in Ecuador.Making this book rather unique is an entire chapter dedicated to “Cuencanos Point of View.” The author has tried to give everyone’s perspective of Cuenca, not just the American, Canadian, or European’s point of view.Adam Truslow, the coiner of “The American Dream,” stated, “Life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement.” Many are looking outside of the U.S. to make this happen.And a high percentage have made their way to Cuenca, Ecuador for a rejuvenated life.
