CURRENT MISSION

Meet people. Write, write, write. Storytelling. In the battle between words and numbers, words will win.

ABOUT ME

Today I have books, food, toys, friends. Life could not be better.

PHILOSOPHY

Hay que aprender a resistir.
Ni a irse ni a quedarse,
a resistir,
aunque es seguro
que habrá más penas y olvido.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw the Himalayas and I though there was nothing more beautiful than that. Then I went to Iceland and I understood how little we are. I like snow.
I decided to live in Mexico. I have worked with immigrants from Central America to the US. I wanted to see the white world, then I went to Denmark.
