My Second and Beloved Home, Ecuador!
Updated: Jun 26
By Yves Bechard
My name is Yves René Béchard and I was born into a family of 10 children. We were raised in Hearst, Canada, a little city otherwise known as the ''Moose Capital of Canada,'' located in the deep north of the province of Ontario where we can have -50 degree winters and high 40’s in the summer.
Our mom and dad raised us to live by three main principles, loving, sharing, and helping each other. So all my life I have helped, and still do.
January 2011, at the age of 55, I came to visit Ecuador and it only took me two weeks to decide that I was going to live here permanently.
The hospitality of the local people that I met made me fall in love with this country.
