- What do you like best about your country?
The best thing about Ecuador is how diverse it is. Despite the small size of Ecuador it's one the few Mega Diverse countries in the world. It's great to be able to travel for only a couple of hours and go from the jungle to the Andes and then the coast. This not only means beautiful places, incredible people and amazing food.
- What do you not like? What do you think are the main problems your country has to deal with?
The biggest problem we have in Ecuador is the economic and political instability that we've had over the past decade which has lead to a lot of corruption and an even bigger gap between the rich and the poor.
I don't like how some parts of the society are still very backward minded and still think that we live in the colonial times...
- If you had to describe your country to a blind person in just one sentence what would you say?
Live Ecuador!
- Hobbies:
I like to spend a lot of my free time with my friends, travelling or listening to music.
I love to take photos and watch good movies.
Nothing beats quality time with my friends while having a nice dinner.
My hobbies are photography, cooking and travelling.
- Favourite Meals:
Pizza! I love a good Italian pizza. I like Mexican and Indian food, and I really enjoy a nice glass of wine and a nice piece of chocolate.
