On two years of reflection and self-construction

The only thing I can think of while flying across the ocean in of those amazing days I had while doing NOHA. Two years of self-encounters, of rediscovering and understanding myself. Times where the most important part were all of you who gave me your love, friendship, knowledge and support. Those of

México desde Suecia

A través de mi computadora percibo a mi país.  No es la mejor forma de hacerlo, llevo mucho tiempo afuera y tengo que regresar a sentir lo que sucede. Desde aquí se percibe un desplomo de la sociedad mexicana. Leo con tristeza, todos los días, noticias de muertos por la guerra contra el narco, juego

Hoy tengo ganas…

Hoy, tengo ganas de salir a la calle. Encontrarme en la esquina a una señora vendiendo quesadillas. Ir a un mercado y ver los colores. Tengo ganas de pasear por Reforma y terminar en el Zócalo.

After several hours of listening to “Latino music” – from all sort of Latin-American countries and styles-  I found out that the “telenovela” phe

The power of information

I’ve been reading on the #wikileaks scandal raised at the end of last year (again). More than a whistle blowing attempt and a nice prosecution that gave the world something to gossip about, information in the new era just gained another battle. Whatever the impact on diplomacy and current politics,

My life without internet

My computer skills have been tested by the lack of network connection during the last week. Although I have been quite busy with friends and trying to finish all the pendent things I have in Switzerland, I have to admit that it is quite difficult to be offline for a while. It is worse when [...]

A night with me, myself and my music

( 22 01 11) Today I stayed at home. I was reflecting again. Meditation has become part of my daily understanding of myself. The understanding of the life I chose. I realized that becoming a humanitarian and deciding not to stand still in one place has repercussions in my inner development as a human

Rediscovering myself

Another cycle has ended. It seems that it was yesterday when I met my new NOHA family in Aix-en- Provence, finished my first semester in Uppsala, moved right away to Bochum, spent my summer in France and moved here to Geneva. It is amazing how much I’ve change in these months. I’ve experienced the b
