(English)
Hello, I'm Eduardo (Edu) born and raised in Asunción, Paraguay.

I work as an advertising art director and freelance illustrator.

I enjoy going to the theater, attending art exhibitions, playing video games, drawing or just having a good cup of coffee or a beer with a friend.

Hope you a great time in Paraguay!

ABOUT PARAGUAY
Little-visited, little-known Paraguay is a country much misunderstood. Despite its location at the heart of the continent, it is all too often passed over by travelers who wrongly assume that a lack of 'mega-attractions' means there's nothing to see. But it's ideal for those keen to get off the gringo trail for a truly authentic South American experience.

Paraguay is a country of remarkable contrasts: it's rustic and sophisticated; it's extremely poor and obscenely wealthy; it boasts exotic natural reserves and massive human-made dams; it is a place where horses and carts pull up by Mercedes Benz cars, artisans' workshops abut glitzy shopping centers, and Jesuit ruins in rural villages lie just a few kilometers from sophisticated colonial towns.

What makes Paraguay different well explained in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-hIPK4gtNo
