After Many Years Living in the US We Now Enjoy Living in Ecuador By Martha Perez We are Martha and Hugo Perez, a couple from Ecuador who lived in the United States for many years. Now we are back living in Ecuador.  Hugo went to college in the U.S. as a young man and lived there for 42 years. He has degrees as a dental/mechanical and industrial/mechanical engineer. After college, he worked for Reynolds Aluminum as a technician. He opened the Reynolds plant in Woodbridge, NJ. Later he worked for Richard Corporation in Chantilly, VA. While there, he designed and created parts for one of the first aerial photography machines. After retiring from Richard Corporation we decided to move back to Ecuador. As a retired person Hugo is very much enjoying being back in his country. He spends his spare time now doing woodwork in his shop making beautiful inlaid wooden tea boxes and platters and helping Martha design the gardens on their 2 1/2 acre property. Hugo loves to share the wonderful experience of his life in Ecuador with guests who come to Casa Izabella, the bed and breakfast he and Martha operate along with their excellent staff. MARTHA WORKED 18 YEARS AT THE
ECUADORIAN EMBASSY IN D.C.
 My name is Martha, and I have
an executive secretary degree with a
diplomacy specialty. I worked for 18 years at the Ecuadorian
Embassy in Washington, D.C. This was a wonderful
and
enriching experience. I had the opportunity to meet many
important people from all over the world. I also very much
enjoyed the American culture and I learned a lot from that.What I admire the most about Americans is the discipline and organization that the U.S. has and its incredible generosity. I tried my best to learn and adopt these characteristics. MY DESIRE IS TO SHARE THE BEST OF
BOTH CULTURES
Now that I’m back living in Ecuador, with all of my experience in the U.S., I want to take what I have learned from the best of both cultures and help foreign visitors have a good experience with my country. It is so delightful to have the chance to show visitors how wonderful and magnificent Ecuador is.  On a clear day, we can see nine volcanoes in the distance, like guardians keeping our valley safe. When I am gardening, I fly to the infinite and experience the most unique sensation, communicating with God. I realize how powerful and generous He is with us.  Hugo
built our house while I was still working in the U.S. We love
to
share our home with guests as a bed and breakfast.
We have
a swimming pool, tennis
courts, sauna and barbecue house for our guests to enjoy,
not to mention some of the best gourmet home-cooking in
Ecuador. We want our guests to feel so comfortable
that
they feel like they are in their own home. I want to share all that we have with everyone who wants to come to visit Ecuador. We especially enjoy helping people who want to consider living in Ecuador. |
