Dear International Living Reader,
When I have an Ecuador question, I usually ask Gary Scott.
Not only does he know the country inside out...but he’s also one of the clearest thinkers on international currency I know.
That’s why I asked him for his take on the effect of the global financial crisis on Ecuador’s currency...which happens to be the dollar.
He puts things in perspective below.

Dear International Living Reader,
Mexico may be top dog overall in our 2008 Retirement Index, but there is a place close by with even better weather.
I think it’s the best weather on Earth.

Laura has the whole story on this paradise on Earth below.

Dear International Living Reader,
There are places in the world where the simple, practical, cordial life still exists. In some of these places, the sound of modern civilization crashing and burning is just a distant rumble.

Dear International Living Reader,
It’s the most obvious no-brainer my wife and I have seen in years.
Just $46,000 for a brand-new condo with a world-class mountain view.
In a clean, quiet little town where it really is always spring, and $2 still gets you a four-course lunch.
Suzan tells all about it below.

Dear International Living Reader,
My wife, Suzan, is into something new—eating only locally grown food.
We just visited one of the few places on earth where you can really do this without cheating. It’s a highland Garden of Eden where the growing season never ends, cabbages get as big as beach balls, and a dollar will buy more bananas than you can carry.
Suzan serves up the story below.
