One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in Germany for almost three years to do an international master's program. The best part was meeting people from all over the world and sharing experiences.
I've volunteered in the shanty towns of Peru and did research for my Master's thesis in Ecuador.
I write articles about agriculture and food - something I'm very interested in - for magazines and newspapers.
I started this website here: www.foodandpeace.com.
