In my continued effort to meet and introduce our expat neighbors here in Manta, Ecuador, I'd like to share my video interview with Gene and Jewel Wrenn.
This fine couple has been here four years now and have no plans to go anywhere else.

Feel free to write to them if you have questions about their experiences here.

If one person comes here based on my influence and doesn't like it at all, then has to return to start all over again, I have failed.
