Acerca de esta escucha
Ever wonder what it would be like to pick up one day and move abroad?
In the summer of 2013, Kris Loomis and her husband sold all their worldly possessions and, along with their three-legged cat, Triplet, did just that. They left their comfy life behind and moved to Ecuador!
Follow along as they battle 'mañana' time, stinky buses, and the dreaded 'Frankenstein' shower. Will they adjust to South American culture? Will Triplet learn to meow in Spanish? Will the stupid black beans ever cook at that altitude?
Thirty Days in Quito: Two Gringos and a Three-Legged Cat Move to Ecuador is a humorous first-hand account of a couple stepping out of their comfort zone, holding on tight, and learning to breathe at 9,000 feet.
Thirty Days in Quito: Two Gringos and a Three-Legged Cat Move to Ecuador is a fun must listen for anyone interested in travel or curious about other cultures, and future expats will get a glimpse of what moving abroad is really like!

Historia
Squeezed between Colombia in the north and Peru in the south, Ecuador is named for its location on the Equator and has a landscape so varied that it has been described as a microcosm of every microclimate found in South America. This diversity makes it a magnet for tourists, mountain trekkers, volunteers, and increasing numbers of US retirees looking for a warm, culturally interesting, economical, and safe place to spend much of their time.

Historia
Back when restaurant menus were still printed on paper, and wearing a mask—or not—was a decision made mostly on Halloween, David Sedaris spent his time doing normal things. As Happy-Go-Lucky opens, he is learning to shoot guns with his sister, visiting muddy flea markets in Serbia, buying gummy worms to feed to ants, and telling his nonagenarian father wheelchair jokes. But then the pandemic hits, and like so many others, he’s stuck in lockdown, unable to tour and read for audiences, the part of his work he loves most.

Historia
If you've ever laughed your way through David Sedaris's cheerfully misanthropic stories, you might think you know what you're getting with Calypso. You'd be wrong. When he buys a beach house on the Carolina coast, Sedaris envisions long, relaxing vacations spent playing board games and lounging in the sun with those he loves most. And it's as idyllic as he imagined, except for one tiny, vexing realization: it's impossible to take a vacation from yourself. With Calypso, Sedaris sets his formidable powers of observation - and dark humor - toward middle age and mortality.

He tests the limits of love when Hugh lances a boil from his backside, and pushes the boundaries of laziness when, finding the water shut off in his house in Normandy, he looks to the water in a vase of fresh cut flowers to fill the coffee machine.

Now, the New York Times best-selling author gives herself - and her generation - a kick in the X, by facing her greatest challenge to date: acting her age. Jen is finally ready to put away childish things (except her Barbie Styling Head, of course) and embrace the investment-making, mortgage-carrying, life insurance-having adult she's become.

She’s content just to carry on: She goes to work, troubleshoots the teen-targeted Gemstone Bible, watches movies in a Greenpoint basement with her boyfriend. So Candace barely notices when a plague of biblical proportions sweeps New York.

There have always been problems, and there always will be. You can fight for the things you believe in, you can work really, really hard, but you shouldn't lose track of the fact that while you're doing all that, life is flying by at lightning-fast speed.

Before Gabrielle Hamilton opened her acclaimed New York restaurant Prune, she spent 20 fierce, hard-living years trying to find purpose and meaning in her life. Above all she sought family, particularly the thrill and the magnificence of the one from her childhood that, in her adult years, eluded her. Hamilton’s ease and comfort in a kitchen were instilled in her at an early age when her parents hosted grand parties, often for more than 100 friends and neighbors. The smells of spit-roasted lamb, apple wood smoke, and rosemary garlic marinade became necessary to her.

Tee's evolution after her sudden and unexpected outplacement, is loosely based on the stages of grief - denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance, relinquishing, readjusting, and reinvesting. For Tee, losing her job is like a death, but with time, and some bumps, bruises and a new attitude, she comes out on the other side, having reassessed what's important in her life.

Historia
Follow New York Times best-selling author Mary Roach - but be careful not to trip - as she weaves through personal anecdotes and everyday musings riddled with her uncanny wit and amazingly analytical eye. These essays, which found a well-deserved home within the pages of Reader's Digest as the column "My Planet," detail the inner workings of hypochondriacs, hoarders, and compulsive cheapskates. (Did we mention neurotic interior designers and professional list makers?) For Roach, humor is hidden in the most unlikely places, which means that nothing is off limits.

Historia
In the best-selling memoir Funny in Farsi, Firoozeh Dumas recounted her adventures growing up Iranian American in Southern California. Now she again mines her rich Persian heritage in Laughing Without an Accent, sharing stories both tender and humorous on being a citizen of the world, on her well-meaning family, and on amusing cultural conundrums, all told with insights into the universality of the human condition. (Hint: It may have to do with brushing and flossing daily.)

Historia
John Marshall had read about the growth of voluntourism, and frankly, it was the only kind of extended trip he could afford. He'd heard that some peoples' lives were changed by a week of overseas service - what might half a year accomplish for his family? His wife, Traca, was all in favor of it; his kids, especially his 14-year-old daughter, were strongly opposed. Wide-Open World is the totally engaging, bluntly honest story of the Marshall family's life-changing adventure.

It was supposed to be cute
Reader not so good, here is where the writer should have read, it's difficult for someone to read when they didn't experience the funnies, it's almost as if she didn't understand where or what was supposed to be funny. She tried.

I had a great time listening to this book!
I found this wonderfully written and narrated book on Gina Rae Mitchell’s book blog, and am so glad I did! I felt I was right there in the places they were, meeting the people, riding the buses, eating the food! Taking part in adventures! I replayed some parts because I enjoyed them so much.

Fun and Exciting Adventures in Ecuador
I really enjoyed this entertaining and informative true story. This book made me laugh and smile all while learning new things about Ecuador and the Ecuadorian people. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves traveling and maybe thinking about moving to Ecuador. I received this book from Audiobooks Unleashed and this is my honest unbiased review. I really loved this book.

"30 days at 9,999 feet."
A short (three and one half) memoir of an American couple taking early retirement, and, with their cat, moving to Ecuador. This boo records the first month spent in Quito, waiting for their residency visas and beginning to learn Spanish and get to understand the custkms. Good in a casual, naive way, the author brings the, to her, new sights and sounds alive for the reader, even touching on the difficulty of cooking dried beans at high altitude. The whole is an easy read, amusing and rather charming, spoiled only by the abrasive, over modulation of the narration. I found it difficult to listen to Jodi Gaylord's voice without wanting to curl away and switch off. But this is a matter of personal taste: her delivery was otherwise fine.
An interesting, informative and humorous quick read

Small-Minded, Bland, Belittling
Not for a general audience.
White and untraveled woman’s account of immigrating to beautiful Quito, Ecuador. Lacks a sense of place, history, and character development. Packed with irrelevant details—the cat isn’t “impressed” with Quito’s windy season, for example—complaining, and assumptions—that Ecuador has no mail system, for example, which isn’t true.
Not worth the money.
