ABOUT ME

Well its hard to say, but if I think about my last couple of years, I do every possible activity during the daily time: Learing Economics, in particular Development Economics and Political Economy, reading all kinds of literature, from Vargas Llosa to Pamuk, from Cortazar to Cohen... also I involved in some business of medical devices and work for a Internation Political Consulting firm. In my free time I work and write for some magazzines and publish there some photos. In general thats all I do...
