Don Shader - Grumpy Old Gringo

Personal vlogs by an American who sold up and relocated to Manta, Ecuador, documenting everyday life and experiences as an expatriate retiree. Frequent topics include practical costs and preparations for retiring abroad (living expenses, questions to ask, deal breakers), local community and social interactions, and observations about Manta’s environment and public issues (beach trash, stray animals). The channel also features hands-on, human-interest moments—tools or acts that help locals and personal stories from life in Ecuador.
