7 Nice Things About Living Near Latitude Zero

I’m currently in the South hemisphere, but a few minutes driving to the north and I’ll cross the equator line.

Yes, Quito is located in middle earth, at about Coordinates: 00°15′00″S.

On the other hand, the altitude is about 2,850 m (about 9,350 ft), which creates a unique and rich ecosystem around us. Here are my reasons to love living in Quito, at high altitude near latitude zero:

1. We can cross from Hemisphere South to the North in a matter of minutes

2. In the equinoxes, we don’t make a shade, which is fun

3.  Some days we can enjoy summer, fall, winter and spring in the same day

4.  There’s always nice flowers around. It’s lifelong spring over here

5.  Magnificent view of snow-capped volcanoes

6. Just 4 hours by car and we’re at the beach

7. Just 4 hours by car and we’re in the Amazon basin

Isn’t latitude zero a good start point for a family worldwide trip? I believe it is!
