Consulting
Think global
We have lived and worked on three continents. The world is now global, fluid, and fast moving. Everything is at your fingertips. But this can be overwhelming. Contrary confusing information exists everywhere you look. The secret lies in analyzing, researching and interpreting many layers of complex data. You need to be able to bounce ideas and questions off trusted, objective resources.
With a global perspective, we have the ability to guide people through complex lifestyle decisions and life changing relocations. We've done it, and we can support you through this. And we're doing it every day through our daily work life, social events and our farm operation.
Our major attributes are life experience., energy, inspiration and ideas.
Many people offer siloed services, and they have their place. But many are only there for a one off transactional fee. few have a holistic approach to your international move. This is a major life changing event. So you want legitimate input from people who have achieved this successfully, and won't take advantage, sell you a bill off goods, or set you up to fail. Ethics and honesty are important to us, so we'll always be objective even if it's not what you want to hear.


Integration
Part of our successful transition to a totally different culture has been baed on our commitment to integrating into society. We can advise you how to adapt, how to be accepted, and the do's and don't of behaving in a new culture. Plus, the risks and challenges you may face. We'll also prepare you with some warning signs regarding bad deals, being taken advantage of, and fair pricing.
Our story isn't a "one-size-fits-all" approach. People have different needs, and goals in their relocation. But we'll set you up with baselines of how to move forward, depending how curious or committed you are towards pushing your envelope and learning about a new culture. In our community everyone knows us and friendly waves greet us at every turn. Even our cows and dogs have Kichwa names. We've experienced weddings, baptisms, deaths and seasonal fiestas. That's the rich depth of what we have created here, and we'd like you to have that same experience, at whatever level you're comfortable with. Even a superficial basic understanding will help prepare you.
Everything we have learned, we'll pass on to you, then you can go from there.


Business and finance
Moving countries isn't for the faint hearted. With adequate financial resources, it can be made easier. With concise planning, the move can be made much smoother at any budget.
