Do you need a translator?

I am Maria Penafiel, I am a Lawyer, I am 25 years old and I speak English fluently. Besides that, I have also studied German, a bit of Italian. I love traveling. I have been to Italy, the United States and I have also traveled within Ecuador. I have been to Galapagos, Amazonas, Chimborazo, Quito and Baños de Ambato. My beautiful country is full of diversity and I am excited for you to experience it. I am already planning my next trip.
I am currently working at a city law firm.

I have various work experiences such as labor law, family, business incorporation, civil and criminal matters and mediation. I have experience translating legal or non-legal documents. Therefore, I can assist or advise and translate the documents that you need to do at the notary’s office, but my experience is not limited to law; If you have any day-to-day errands and the language barrier is a problem, I can help you with that.

150+ MBS, reliable, temporary Internet

My wife and I are planning to return to Cuenca for the first time since the start of Covid. We usually come for only the winter…Jan through March. We have an apartment on Ordonez Lazo.

I still work so having fairly quick and reliable internet is key. However, it’s always such a pain in the @#$ to get set up and then to terminate. Back in New Jersey I cut my cable cords all together and have been using T-Mobile 5g home (cellular) internet. I couldn’t be happier with speed, reliability and most of all, ease of getting up and running (no technician from ISP required) and no long term contract. I noticed (below link) that Movistar Ecuador has the same, albeit 4g speeds. Just wondering if anyone here has any first or second hand knowledge using this in Ecuador?

Inexperienced but authentic actors needed

We need three male and three female actors to tell (mostly) true stories of their life.

We want to shoot three stories per person.

1. A moment when your family really made you proud, with backstory, no more than 5 min long
2. A story of your father or mother or a heartbreaking moment in your life.
3. A fun story like how much your first car cost, what it was, what it meant to you or basically whatever, something from your past or your story of moving to Ecuador.

We are looking to inspire others to share stories so the video will be used in Digital media.

Payment is $50 and some free coffee and pastries. 🙂

Recommendation for Thanksgiving shoutout to Mother & Son!, food delivery

Delicious as always! In my 4th year of getting their Thanksgiving dinner at home, Debby and her son James never failed to make it always memorable. Generous portion packs all of the flavor and juiciness of a perfectly cooked turkey. The sides include scalloped potatoes, green beans, maple mashed sweet potato, sourdough dinner roll, gravy, cranberry sauce, and pecan pie. Best holiday dinner!

I wanted to attend the dinner concert, but my medical condition made it impossible. I heard it was sold out and fun.

Debby and James have provided me with their excellent soups and chicken bone broth. They also have the best meatloaf in town.

Kudos to Mother & Son Family Kitchen and the Jazz Society Cafe!
