Our Youth Exchange student, Mateo, told us all about his home country of Ecuador. Ecuador has varied geography with a coastal area, mountains, and the Amazon River. Quito is the capital.Mateo is from Cuenca, a city in Southern Ecuador's Andes Mountains. About 500,000 people live in Cuenca.
Mateo thought it was cold in Cuenca until he moved to Wenatchee where it is really cold. Mateo has a brother, 11 years old, and a sister 9, plus Bassett Hound, Roseo. He had a German exchange student living at his home when he left for America.
Soccer is Mateo's favorite sport. He also likes tennis because he can play year round.
Mateo saw snow for the first time in Wenatchee. Taro and his family took him to Mission Ridge and he is a natural skier. He loves it! (PJ, we need you for some expert lessons for this talented youth. Hurry home!)
Mateo hopes to study economics in college. He will attend college in his home country.
Mateo's favorite America restaurant so far is Red Robin.
Mateo has been stay with the Masuda family, Taro, Patti, Reagan, Veronica and Lourdes. He will join Patty and Heath Rush soon.
