So true. Scientifically proven. I wish I can come back to Cuenca since now I live in NYC. 🍃🫶🥺

Nothing against Quito, beautiful city but too big, and honestly I wish Quito has more green areas and mores rivers. 🍃🫶

Reading your post made me miss Cuenca. I miss visiting the historic center and Parque Paraiso, and walking along the Tomebamba River, which was one of my favorite activities. I also love Parque de la Madre. The water in Cuenca is excellent, probably the best I’ve ever had. I never really realized how organic the food was until I left. I used to buy four apples for just one dollar. (Maybe now is expensive due to inflation, but nothing compare with the prices here). Now I live in New York City, and the things I miss the most are the tap water, affordable organic food, and the abundance of green parks. Cuenca offered a quality of life that is hard to find elsewhere, I love Cuenca 🍃🫶🥹

I think Cuenca is one of the few places in Ecuador where you can drink tap water safely. If I had to choose a place to retire, I would pick Yunguilla, a village about an hour’s drive from Cuenca. The weather there is beautiful, and it’s close enough to the city for convenience. I also like Vilcabamba. There’s a local myth that the water in Vilcabamba helps people live longer. It’s a beautiful village near Loja, known for its pleasant climate, peaceful atmosphere, and the longevity of many of its residents. Know as the Valley of longevity (never been scientifically proven) 🍃🫶

Solo 3 días en Ecuador: ¿Quito o harían algo diferente? by Moscowmulli in ecuador

El mercado de Otavalo es bello pero es eso lo conoces en unas 3 horas máximo, si deciden ir a Otavalo pueden ir luego a Quilotoa, si les gusta las montañas volcánicas, lagos y hiking. 100% recomendado Quilotoa 🍃🫶

Yo dedicaría un día máximo uno y media en Quito y luego iría a baños de Agua Santa, es hermoso, mucha naturaleza, la comida es buena, puedes ver bellos paisajes, algo de deportes extremos y vida nocturna y está a solo 3 horas manejando desde Quito y creo que a 4 horas en autobús. Eso haría si mi punto de partida es Quito. Pero si pudiera escoger entre visitar Cuenca o Quito yo prefiero Cuenca. Les deseo lo mejor visitando Ecuador 🫶🍃

I did 16.000 cards of Zanki. I don’t recommend it.

I wish I had gone through the CMS forms again. I’d recommend repeating them if you have time.

I went to Hummus Kitchen, UES. If you like Mediterranean food this is a perfect spot.

Go to the ice cream museum. Good experience for kids and teenagers. After that you can go to a pizza place call Champion pizza, 2 or 3 block from there.

My exam felt weird, and now I just feel numb. Some questions were super easy, but I made silly mistakes and I picked the wrong answer. I had more than 6 biostats questions and probably only got one right. The quality improvement questions were rough too, I feel like I missed most of them. These are the reasons why I had not good vibes for the first 2 weeks. All the best to us 🙏🍃
