About Chip
A closer look at the person behind the reporting
I moved to Ecuador and experienced the same challenge many expats face: it is possible to feel at home here while still struggling to keep up with the decisions, policies, and local changes that shape everyday life.
I built Expat Ecuador to make that information easier to follow. We cover the news with the context expats need — not just what happened, but why it matters if you live in Quito, Cuenca, Guayaquil, the coast, or anywhere else in the country.
Beyond the publication, I help expats work through the practical details of life abroad, from residency and cross-border taxes to the decisions that make a move to Ecuador feel more manageable.
