I was born in Ecuador in 1968, studied and lived in the USA. I started a lifesyle magazine in Miami back in the early 2000s. Then I was the publisher of an Ecuadorian Travel magazine specialized in Responsible Travel. 

Part of my journey has been moving around Ecuador, reporting about travel with a positive impact. I owned Manso boutique hotel for many years in Guayaquil, and the place became a hub for the local arts and Responsible Travel in the area.

I am also a critical witness of the Latin American reality and the challenges in the face of modernization and extractive industries. I feel a lot of respect for the powerful and positive indigenous presence in National politics of Ecuador. 

Regarding the Left-Right discussion, I really don't see the World in terms of Left and Right. I think it's more real now to see it in terms of Localists and Globalists. Science can be a tool to accumulate money and power. Or it can be used to improve people's lives. Science can deny the existence of Spirit and focus only on making money. Or it can try to understand human consciousness so we become a better civilization. In the 21st Century, the way governments use science says a lot more than arcaic labels like Left or Right.

I currently reside in Vilcabamba, southern Ecuador, in Finca Sagrada ecovillage, where my service is to contribute to the fulfillment of the prophecy of the encounter of the Eagle and the Condor, from this magical corner of the World. 

I am a TikToker! Check out my Instagram/TikTok channel called Filosofia Perenne 5.0 (= Perennial Philosophy 5.0), which purpose is to decode ancient wisdom and explain it in contemporary language. My philosophy is aligned with the esoteric traditions of ancient cultures: We are all one, and life is a stage subordinate to our loving spiritual beings, part of an universal divine force of Love.

I think the world is freeing itself from an oppressive system that managed to keep humanity ignorant, disempowered and sick for many years.

Everybody knows that. The debate now is whether they are simply greedy people or an alien race. Whether they are groups conspiring against humanity, or simply corporations looking to maximize their profit. Whether Trump is the solution or not.

And on these details have us divided, when deep down we all agree that humanity deserves a better World.

I hope never to lose the ability to discuss using logical arguments and to learn from those who have different points of view.

What I see is a silent and apocalyptic confrontation between the forces of evil and good. And I see that the light is prevailing.

I love Nature, and with a group of friends founded a few years ago an environmental organization called Agua Sagrada (Sacred Water) dedicated to stewarding water in Ecuador's rural areas.

In VIlcabamba I am part of a project to create an Autonomous Bioregion, a valley with sustainable farming, regional currency, and many other services to help people live thriving lives. 

I have two kids who I devotedly love and who live in Guayaquil, Luka and Nua. I will show you pictures of them when we meet. I share my life with Oddi, the love of my life, my perfect female match.
