About Me

I moved back to Mexico City after a couple of years of living and working with rural indigenous communities, so I'm enjoying city life for a while before I go back to work in rural development.
De vuelta a la ciudad después de un par de años viviendo y trabajando con comunidades rurales indígenas. Disfrutando la vida citadina antes de regresar a las zonas rurales.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn about almost everything. Learning is one of the most important passions in my life. I believe that one of the meanings of life is to constantly expand and modify the structures through which we position ourselves in the world.
