I am 56 years old and live in Southern California in a small mountain community. My job is to build homes. I started building homes in the Phoenix area. Luxury Homes first then Historic Reproductions in various Historic Housing Districts in the downtown area. That was a fun job. Now I build homes in the mountains. Not big, luxurious homes, but small, cozy, mountain homes. I also do some remodeling and room additions. My little town has a population of 1000. That is not a huge market to draw from. You have to be a good builder to make a living in a small town. I have been able to do it for 11 years.
I love spending time in Hawaii. Mostly Maui but I have been to all the islands. They are all great. In February 2012 we will be heading to Kauai for 11 days. Hawaii was my favorite spot until last year. That was the year I spent almost 3 weeks in Ecuador. What a beautiful country… I will be traveling to Ecuador again in late 2012 to explore coastal cities and will also spend a week in Cuenca. If this second trip is as great as the first one was, Ecuador will move to the top of my short list for a retirement spot… and then early retirement may kick in. More to come on that subject.
I also like to play tennis, good music, love coffee, love my two dogs and my partner of 18 years, and not necessarily in that order. I love anything that is built and designed well. Porsche automobiles, Craftsman tools, Miele appliances, even Oreck vacuums. Good quality and good design turn me on.
Таки я тоже зашла на так называемый Жорин сайт.Это - то, как он сам себя позиционирует. Строитель, любитель музыки, кофе, собак и пр. стал в одночасье великим специалистом по лингвистике, специалистом во многих областях эмиграции , знатоком эквадорской жизни ( хотя и побыл там совсем немножко).Молодец, следует советам многочисленных экспатов, специализирующихся на обучении американцев , как сделать деньги из ничего.
Да любой наш форумчанин, проживший в Эквадоре лет 5, обладает более достоверной информацией и опытом, который можно перенять. Читайте лучше жж наших Титаника, Алены, Ксюры, Гриши, Ани , Марины - поймете в сто раз больше!
