The Bowens, who were previously based in the state of Washington, have been living in Loja, a small city based in the southern section of the Andes Mountains, ever since, and say that they are in it for the long haul.
¡°We love this little country,¡± Brittany tells CNN Travel. ¡°We hope that maybe we¡¯ll have grandkids here one day.¡±
Before the move, the couple, who¡¯ve been married for nearly 17 years, say that they were becoming increasingly concerned about the pressures placed on children by ¡°modern American society¡± and wanted to try something new.
¡°We did not like what we¡¯d seen develop over the course of the last couple decades¡¦¡± adds Brittany, explaining that they felt that young people in the United States were becoming ¡°more isolated.¡±
¡°We weren¡¯t confident that our kids would enjoy the same sort of potential trajectory that previous generations had shared.
¡°And the more we considered things like that, the more we wondered, ¡®Is that even what we want? Do we even want them to be on a fast track to the American Dream?¡±
The couple were also frustrated with living what they describe as the ¡°standard American life.¡±
¡°Long commutes and never enough money,¡± says Blake. ¡°All those usual problems¡¦ I was working in a career that was very time consuming, and took me away from home a lot. So we didn¡¯t want that anymore.¡±
So why did they choose Ecuador as their ¡°new home¡±?

President Donald Trump on Thursday blamed the Federal Aviation Administration¡¯s ¡°diversity push¡± in part for the plane collision that killed 67 people in Washington, DC. But DEI backers, including most top US companies, believe a push for diversity has been good for their businesses.
Trump did not cite any evidence for how efforts to hire more minorities, people with disabilities and other groups less represented in American workforces led to the crash, saying ¡°it just could have been¡± and that he had ¡°common sense.¡± But Trump criticized the FAA¡¯s effort to recruit people with disabilities during Joe Biden¡¯s administration, even though the FAA¡¯s Aviation Safety Workforce Plan for the 2020-2029 period, issued under Trump¡¯s first administration, promoted and supported ¡°the hiring of people with disabilities and targeted disabilities.¡±

It¡¯s not the first time opponents of diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, or DEI, have said they can kill people. ¡°DEI means people DIE,¡± Elon Musk said after the California wildfires, criticizing the Los Angeles Fire Department and city and state officials for their efforts to advance diversity in their workforces.
