Welcome to my new blog and site

7 years ago, I was blessed with a scholarship to study abroad and soon after found myself working for my dreamed organizations. Now I am back to Peru, feeling amazed by the positive transformations I can see everyday. Excellent timing for a sabbatical! I am now dedicated to bringing my personal projects to life. Moving the ideas to action. My current interests are environmental education, green or eco-businesses and investments.

From time to time I will be posting links and comments about relevant issues to natural resources, climate change, forestry, economics, and education. Thank you for your comments!
