When people ask me where we live I smile and proudly say, “We have two homes, one in Calgary, Canada, and one in Puerto Cayo, Ecuador!” That grabs their attention and they always want to hear more about the life we have carefully carved out for ourselves.
We’ve always had a vacation home where we would retreat on weekends and holidays. We would relax, work on the property, and enjoy the great outdoors with our family and friends. Once we reached our destination, it seemed as though a ton of bricks were lifted off our shoulders, and the hectic pace of our lives was left behind the locked doors of our principal residence. Those properties were always within driving distance!
