自我介绍

I am a university professor. My parents came to live in Ecuador from the USA in 1969 (they were some of the first foreigners in town and felt very welcome as I have been told). I was born in Cuenca and have lived here for all my life. I love traveling, art, history and culture. I also enjoy and practice sports and I try to have a healthy green life being friendly with nature. I have traveled to most countries in South America and many in Central and North America. I have been in Europe five times and in Asia once. I like collecting art pieces, paintings, sculptures, and also, minerals. I love photography, specially of landscapes and landmarks. I have always admired all the aspects my city has to offer its visitors. Cuenca is a religious city, and combines the art of religious architecture and sculptures with its history of many ancient civilizations that have inhabited the area, creating traditions which are captured in the people's culture, such as their clothing, behavior, the way of using the language, handcrafts (Cuenca is the nest of the Panama hat among other interesting hand made things), and even the food (the typical food in Cuenca is very varied and you may easily find dishes for everyone, even for vegetarians -who may have difficulty in some other places-). Come and enjoy what this beautiful city has to offer. If you have a chance to rent my apartment in Cuenca, you will have the chance to see many interesting things and landmarks. I love museums but hate the stress you feel when you have many people around you and guards looking at you all the time. I have thought about how wonderful it would be to have a space that combines the uniqueness and interesting aspects of a museum, with the relax and convenience of home. Feel free to contact me and I will guide you through my city and its many aspects to be explored.
