Every Sunday, these treasures turned into shared family feasts, instilling in me a profound appreciation for our beautiful country.Armed with an ecotourism degree from a local university in Quito, I deepened my connection to nature during a year in the Galapagos Islands. Upon my return, I ignited a 15-year-long career in the travel industry, a profession that fuels my passion.Recently, I achieved a significant milestone by earning my MBA (Master Business Administration).
