CURRENT MISSION

To put some order in my mind

ABOUT ME

Too big to make it fit here.

PHILOSOPHY

«I write differently from the way I speak, I speak differently from the way I think, I think differently from the way I should think - and so it goes on into the darkest depths of infinity» (Franz Kafka Letter to Ottla, July 10, 1914)

«The only thing for me to go on doing is to keep my intellingence calm and analytical to the end» (Franz Kafka The Trial, Josef K. to himself before his execution)

Algo increíble que he hecho

Spent over a year living in llama herding communities in the Andes.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I know a little bit about how climate change is affecting the quechua speaking communities from southern Peru, specially to the llama herders. I spent the last four years reading, researching and writing about the social, geographic economic and ethnic exclusion of the indigenuos communities from the Cuzco region. Now I am a graduate student at Columbia University
