About

I was born in Aurora, Illinois and moved to Palm Beach, Florida in my early 20's. I traveled internationally for business and curiosity throughout the 1980's and1990's. I moved to Jaipur in 1993 and became a resident of India in 1997. In 2000 I married a beautiful Indian Princess. I still possess my Indian Resident Papers but I returned to the USA to help with my father who unfortunately died a few months ago. I spent long periods of time in Mexico (primarily Morelia, Guadalajara, Oaxaca) and loved the country, people, culture, music and food. I have just embraced retirement and have my eyes set on Ecuador.
Interests: music, architecture, Food and Seeing Happy People!

Retired (yesterday!)
The city's music and cultural heritage - Climate - the low crime rate - altitude and from what I have read about the people, their family values.
I am sure there will be things to trip me, try my patience and frustrate me. After all, that is a part of life no one can escape no matter where you roam.

Thank you - This has been my pet peeve here in Cuenca. This "Indiana Jones" (or Jonesette) look the majority of Gringos wear is ridiculous. The overworked and overworn dark grey and khaki clothes with safari hats... please tell us what you ... Read More
