  • Mompiche Ecuador is one of the few fishing villages around the world that hasn't been spoiled by tourism. Other than surfing there's not a whole lot "to do" and that's exactly why you'll want to go.
    Located in the southern part of Esmeraldas Province. This place is what every hardcore traveler wants - peace. There are a few things that will keep you busy but you'll fall in love with the art of doing nothing but enjoying the surroundings.
    I must give huge thanks to Kristin who told me about La Casa Mompiche. They were so kind to host us for 2 nights and we were going to pay for more because we loved it so much, but they were booked! Which is a sign of a fantastic place. You can reserve directly with them at www.lacasamompiche.com/

    Hi I'm Ayngelina and my full time job is my site BaconisMagic.ca it's all about the best food around the world and how to make it at home.
    In 2010 I left a job in advertising, 5 year relationship and sold all my possessions to travel the world. In the last ten years I've had some crazy experiences and even owned a restaurant in Toronto at one time. And prior to 2020 I had been based in Cuba.
    When the world shut down I returned to Canada and decided to teach myself video. I wanted to share more than just words and photos but to show people the adventures I have learning about food around the world.
    I'm not married. I have no kids. But I do have a lot of local friends who help me discover the best local tips.

      I am SHOCKED more people aren't in Mompiche. It's part of Esmeraldas but because it's so far south it doesn't have the same issues. And unfortunately the food isn't as good. But still worth going. LOVED it. And wait until you see Saturday's video of Isla Portete just 3 minutes away.

      I didn't sense a problem, but to be honest I'm running the CZcams videos through a dynamic range compressor most of the time because a lot of people make the mistake of just dropping music in at it's native normalized level when their dialogue is several dB quieter.
      See if this makes sense: it can't be *too loud* in a digital storage format but it's possible to record too hot exceeding the range of the digitizer or to clip earlier stages with a level mismatch, either causing distortion. I haven't heard that in any of your videos.
      The common problem is too much variation of level (loudness) between segments, music and dialogue, different people speaking, stuff like that.
      Imagine watching a video with the fam, little guys have gone to bed. Talking begins, you set the volume to just hear it, the music kicks in and the moms get bent out of shape because it's now loud and it might wake up the kids. So you jump on the remote and turn it down. Back to talking and you can't hear what they're saying so where's that remote again...
      You get the picture. Even sound, that's the goal. Cheers!

      When you take the time to leave a comment it means so much to me, of course I reply 😊. I have spoken about beef being mediocre in various videos. But the moment that I spoke about not eating it in Ecuador was actually the moment I realized I should make that decision.
      Andres and I always talk about how destructive it is for these forests which are the lungs of the country, and so if I don't want to see more clearcutting I also need to make sacrifices. I'm not saying I'll never eat beef here but it will be the exception.

      @ayngelina  Před rokem +1

      Last year I shot a series of videos there and loved it. But right now it’s not safe to visit. If you’re unfamiliar with Ecuador and do not speak Spanish I would recommend other areas along the coast.

    • @kirstensenn1853
      @kirstensenn1853 Před rokem

      Where would you recommend, and why is Mompiche unsafe right now? I’m familiar with the Tarapoto Peru area and LOVE it, but the protests are still happening and there’s no end in sight on that so far. We are actually considering buying property somewhere in South America, as a getaway/ second home, but can’t decide where due to the political climates 🥴

    • @ayngelina
      @ayngelina  Před rokem

      I would never buy property in Ecuador without staying in the area first for a year. Any land that is a bargain price is usually a bargain for a reason and often expats will swindle unsuspecting newcomers into thinking it's a good opportunity and then they discover there's a huge issues with the plot. Mompiche is fantastic and there is distance from what is happening in Esmeraldas but it's also far away from amenities etc so to buy land and build a house you really need to know the place to find out who you can trust to actually do it and source materials. I know there are properties for sale there right now of those who wanted to open accommodation and didn't quite make it work so it could be useful talking to them about their experience building in the area. But if you just want a holiday home you should just rent as you go. Real estate doesn't appreciate like it does in North America and so most expats often rent long term as it's cheaper than buying.

I like pork but not to eat at every meal. Thank you for explaining the ecological impact of beef production/consumption.

      Beef isn't as common here in Ecuador but it's becoming more popular. But it's also rarely very good. Pork, chicken and seafood are always a safer choice if you want a good meal.

      Hotel prices in Ecuador are not like North America. They vary drastically which is why I don't share.
      It depends on how long you stay, how many people there are, season and day of the week, did you book in advance or show up and negotiate? Did you pay with visa or cash? Did you need a receipt. So it will never be accurate and it's not fair to anyone to list the price.
      But I always list websites so people can check quickly for themselves. And I never share where I've stayed unless I like it.
