Being Ecuadorian is, I don't want to say it's tough but it's... something special to me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Anybody who's been to Ecuador wants to go back because it's beautiful out there.
I've always been more in touch with my Ecuadorian side. I speak Spanish.
My family came from Ecuador.
I am Ecuadorian but people felt so safe passing me off as a skinny, blue-eyed white girl.
Ecuador is a country which defends the right to life.
It was very hard for me as a kid to get through as a footballer in Uruguay.
Ecuador has about 700 kilometers of border with Colombia, and a lot of it is impenetrable jungle.
I love travelling, and had the pleasure of being in the most developed country in the world and then parts of two of the most pristine natural areas of the world: the Galapagos islands and the Equador Amazon jungle. The contrast was incredible.
Some of the best cooks that I've cooked with, whether it's in New York or Chicago or even here in Philadelphia, are actually Ecuadorians. And there's something about their palates that really just inspires me, and has a really deep sense of flavor.
In Ecuador, if I go after an Ecuadoran, I'm in trouble; if I go after a Costa Rican, I'm a hero.
