All the texts I’ve recently published in The Slow Burn have been born from a desire to share and inspire. I emphasize this because I recognize that it wasn’t always like this. In the past, when I called myself a publicist and entrepreneur, my writing was often driven by a need to build my personal […]
Very good idea, will I go in flip-flops, will there be thongs, will the sea be cold?
When I was offered the cover of the first issue of Ego, several years ago, I had no hesitation in refusing the kind offer. The name of the magazine and my unfamiliarity with its new format led me to pass up the [...]

In the month of September a record number of visits to the blog was reached, with 62% of them coming from Costa Rica. Everything heats up when the Volcano, a Referendum, an end of the year is approaching.
