Concepts & ideas

Freedom, respect, equity, democracy, love, peace, friendship, forgiveness, success, happiness, ambition are only some examples of concepts - built through ideas and experiences - expressed in the conduct of all human kind. For me, I think that respect and freedom are essential. Respect nature, other people and ourselves! Of course, freedom to do, speak, be, love, achieve whatever we want. Can you tell us which of the above concepts are meaningful for you and why?

An amazing adventure!!


It's said that experiences shape us. Whether they are good, bad, exciting, hilarious, intense, no matter the type, experiences transform who we are.

I remember a personal journey three years ago to the hidden Inca city of Machupichu in Peru. Getting to the city was a total challenge. From Cusco, it took hours ridding a van, then hours on a bus, then waiting for the night train to reach the city of Aguascalientes, where the climbing would start. While climbing, it rainned so hard that our clohtes got sooo heavy that it was so hard to give a step up. The two hours hiking turned into four. Finally, we reached the top, got into the Inca city, all covered with clouds and suddenly, there it was! Beautiful! Hidden! On the top! This experience made me understand the concept of 'perseverance', not to give up, not to surrender .... Get what you want!
