Lee Harrison started working as a freelance writer after a 30-year career in the U.S. electric power industry. He worked 12 years with Bechtel Power Corporation where he started as an electrician, and eventually moved to Exelon Generation (the nation’s second-largest power generator) where he ultimately served as a director. Taking advantage of a post merger early retirement offer, he left in 2001 at age 49 and retired to Cuenca, Ecuador. Now he lives and works primarily in Uruguay, sharing his time between the beach resort of Punta del Este, Uruguay’s capital of Montevideo, and the island of Itamaracá in Brazil. He is currently working as International Living’s Latin America Roving Editor, traveling through Central and South America evaluating the best retirement destinations and property buys.
