I studied Sociology in Ecuador but what I am really passionate about is music, books and the Internet. I don’t think I could ever survive without my guitar and my books. I am obsessed with challenging pre-set knowledge, in order to improve it and pave the way to a brighter future. For me, there is no definitive truth. There is always something to question, change and expand. Life is fleeting, but I believe it is more than enough to build a better world.
