I was born and raised in Cochabamba, a beautiful valley in the center of Bolivia. My father thought me to respect all forms of live when he saw me bothering a frog in the garden when I was nearly five years old. Since then I have a great fascination with nature and have a strong commitment towards its protection. In 2007 I obtained my degree in Environmental Engineering.
