A bout my sister

My younger sister, Olga, was born and raised in Ukraine, as I was too/ same as me. Аs a child she dreamed to become of becoming a model. When she was 17, she got married to a guy from Ecuador and moved to live to in Guayaquil with her husband.
She lived in Ecuador for 4 years and she has worked as a model for the last 2 years. Her dream came true! She is a successful model in Ecuador, because she is a “white model” from Europe: she has blonde hair and blue eyes, she is tall and slim.
I have never been in to Ecuador yet and I haven't seen my sister for 4 years, but I often talk to her on via Skype.

Because I was about to insert a 'the' before 'Ukraine' I was interested to read:

Ukraine or the Ukraine: Why do some country names have 'the'?
