New book is out

Remember I mentioned I had like 20 unfinished books which I couldn’t find the motivation to finish. Well, I managed to finish at least one of them and you can find it here. It’s always fun to start a new project and always difficult to follow through with it because a new project always seems more interesting than an old one, so it was a test of character and discipline for me to be able…

Dear mom

Dear mom, By the time you read this I will be on a plane to Australia. I know it will come as a surprise, and I must say sorry for telling you I went to a friends place. It was a lie.

This is just one of the many…

Living in Argentina as a vegetarian

I frequently tell people I grew up in Argentina, and one of the most frequent questions I’m asked is: “was it tough being a vegetarian there?” Answer is always no. Of course, we find there’s a big meat eating culture there, but there are also many sub-cultures who chose to oppose it for some reason, so you’ve got the hippies, the SxE, the are krishna, the budhists, the hindus, the animals rights defenders, the environmentalists who do…

Traveling: part 2

So my students ask how much does it costs to travel abroad and visit many countries, but there’s not really an objective answer to that question. Any country you go to you can spend a million dollars or spend no money at all, it’s up to you. And it was interesting to learn how each new generation has different goals than the previous ones. and this generation’s dream seems to be to travel around. Why…
