설명
After living in Ecuador for 4 years, I returned to the United States… and I was NOT expecting this.
In this video, I compare real life in the USA vs Ecuador—from cost of living, food, supermarkets, gas prices, lifestyle, and daily routines.
Is the United States really better? Or does Ecuador offer a better quality of life?
You’ll see:
Real prices in the USA (food, gas, coffee)
Lifestyle differences (fast vs slow life)
Supermarket culture shock
Why Ecuador feels like home now
Which country I actually prefer
By the end… my answer might surprise you.
