Your video made me so nostalgic of my country that I want to be there now! Hopefully in a near future! I can’t wait for your next video! Great job!

[@ayngelina]

Isla Portete is now my favourite beach, absolutely amazing!

[@bodvargregersen5161]

Ayngelina, great video of Mompiche. Whenever I go to Esmeraldas, I have to spend sometime in Mompiche. Again, you made a beautiful video of the town of Mompiche and it’s lovely beaches.

[@ayngelina]

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.

Efectivamente la situación es complicada. Todo lo que puedo hacer es apoyar a la buena gente de Ecuador mostrando a otros su belleza.

Increible! gracias por compartir nuestro pais al mundo!! love

Pronto tendré más de 100 videos de Ecuador. espero que te suscribas.

[@pedroblanco8311]

I see you once again have subtitles available in 8 languages including (French, German, English, Hindi, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Latin American Spanish). We thank you for your efforts! Would you consider adding text files or at least turning on the auto-translate for your Canadian videos? We'd enjoy further exploring your channel. We promise to add a like, and comment to every video we watch, and we won't complain about any of KZbin's struggles with certain words.

[@ayngelina]

Yes that's on my list for when I get back to Canada. Just remind me if they don't happen!

[@ayngelina]

Whoops wrong subtitles, thankfully someone told me. It should be fixed now.

[@leonardomera121]

THANKS A LOT ANGELINA.I LIKE YOUR VIDEOS.THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT I WATCH THIS VIDEO.ENJOY YOUR TRIP IN ECUADOR.

[@ayngelina]

Thank you so much, I hope you subscribe!

[@rafaelsolorzano700]

What an exciting video to enjoy...You are the connoisseur of tourism and food specialties of Ecuador.Im really amazed at your style.

[@ayngelina]

Thank you so much Rafael. Bolon with shrimp ruined me for regular bolon. Not the same!

[@kellybico1515]

This really looks like my kinda place - thanks for sharing your experience there!

[@ayngelina]

It's really beautiful. One of my favourite regions.

[@eternitywithjesus777]

Love love this place. That restaurant and the hotel were amazing!

[@ayngelina]

It's still small and just perfect the way it is.

[@paulprosch-jensen4077]

Thanks for sharing your trip....heading to Ecuador this year! Could your tell me what type of camera you're using?

[@ayngelina]

In this video it’s a Sony zv1 as my primary. I list all my gear in the description 😊

[@juliebabin]

That is so fumny !! I reserved a week in the small place downstair at La casa Mompiche! Im going to work so i’m happy to know the wifi is good 😊

[@ayngelina]

Oh you’ll love it there

[@ursulasanabria8813]

What a great and beautiful place! Thank you for what you shared about the cows in Ecuador. With my husband we were always asking ourselves why we don't see more beef in videos of Ecuador, now we have the answer.

[@ayngelina]

Yep unless you're in a really amazing restaurant known for steak I'd just embrace other proteins as it will be disappointing. Also it's better for the land here 😊

[@ursulasanabria8813]

Good to know! It's time for us to start eating healthy anyways and take advantage of all the amazing vegetables and fruits Ecuador has. Any change in the future you talk more about this in one of your videos? Thank you for taking the time to respond to me ♥️🥰♥️🌺

[@ayngelina]

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.

[@ursulasanabria8813]

For sure we are going to consider the same thing as you, we don't want to take the oxygen from this beautiful country. Thanks to your video you made us aware how much land cattle require.

[@pedroblanco8311]

I missed the premiere, however I'm like # 18! We'll watch it in full shortly.

[@ayngelina]

I hope you like it!

[@Jetmab04]

And yet another beautiful place in Ecuador.. I want to live in each of the places you show....I think I have to win the lottery which I never play ... Thanks a lot for sharing - this place is stunning..😊

[@ayngelina]

I'm really surprised Mompiche isn't more popular. Saturday I share Isla Portete which is a three minute drive away and now my favourite beach in Ecuador

[@Jetmab04]

@@ayngelina 😊 thanks Ayngelina!! Where to go in Ecuador? Everywhere 😊

[@ayngelina]

I am so glad you see this. So many people think Ecuador is a handful of good places and once they move here they don't travel it. But there are SO MANY incredible places. I always feel like I'm only scratching the surface.

[@Jetmab04]

@@ayngelina I agree and, I can't wait to get there Ayngelina. Never thought I would ever look forward to retire but, now I wish I could do so tomorrow.. I'll not stop working when I move down but, work can be done from everywhere and, Ecuador had this 'something' telling me, I will never again leave, when I finally get to this wonderful country and not least, the people 😊 Thanks again for sharing!!

[@ayngelina]

Believe me, if I didn't have family and especially nephews that are growing up so fast I wouldn't be leaving.

[@ayngelina]

It’s pretty awesome

[@elgringoec]

Excelente!

[@ayngelina]

Thank you, that means a lot coming from you. Also can you let me know about audio levels moving forward? A couple people mentioned I can be too loud at times?

[@elgringoec]

@@ayngelina I didn't sense a problem, but to be honest I'm running the KZbin 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!

Love Mompiche ❤️

[@ayngelina]

Did you visit Isla Portete?

[@javierquinonez8039]

Hola no se inglés por tanto leo los subtítulos, y parece que este vídeos de mompiche tiene los subtítulos en español de isla portete o playa escondida.

[@ayngelina]

Tienes razon! Estoy arreglando!

[@ayngelina]

Ahora esta arreglado. Gracias por contarlo saber.

[@kirstensenn1853]

How safe is the Esmeraldas area for families with young children? Really wanting to bring the whole family but I’m very unfamiliar with Ecuador!

[@ayngelina]

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]

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]

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.

[@hermanodejesus7264]

That lunch looks AMAZING. ME QUIERO MORIR...... half of that would be like $7.00 in Garbagequil.

[@ayngelina]

Esmeraldas has the best food in Ecuador.

[@mr.groove2142]

What about Playa Escondida, the Island of Portete, or the bioluminescent plankton at the point at night?

[@ayngelina]

I have dedicated videos of Playa Escondida and Portete 😊

[@jeanniebennett3708]

Dear Ayngelina, you did it again. Beautiful video. But more importantly, you made me realize why you don't eat a lot of meat in your videos. I thought " wow, she really loves pork!" I like pork but not to eat at every meal. Thank you for explaining the ecological impact of beef production/consumption. I can't say I won't order a beef item b while in Ecuador, but I will be mindful of the consequences of consuming it.

[@ayngelina]

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.

[@6merkaba]

Wait! Oh no! She didn't say how much the hotel was! I wanna know please

[@ayngelina]

I never list prices as hotels always change but i also always include the website links in the description box so you can contact them.

[@6merkaba]

OK. An idea could be to say: We are may 2022 and the room was xyz amount but know it might change. While we are at it the prices at the restaurant can also change. Thanks for replying

[@ayngelina]

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.

[@6merkaba]

Thank you for putting Mompiche on the map and bringing our attention on that precious fragile playa negra, you rock!💕❤

Be careful Angelina with the very lonely beaches, always go accompanied or chat with a policeman mentioning that they will make videos around the site. Take care

We had no issues at all in Mompiche, there was a family having lunch at Playa Negra but otherwise we didn't see anyone the entire time.
