Welcome to this blog spot! I hope you will find interesting stories here, that will make you think... whether you agree upon it or not. I do have a strong interest for Latin America for many years. I read LatAm newspapers daily and I've read quite a lot of books regarding Latin American history and modern Latin American politics. I wouldn't call myself an expert on Latin American issues, but I feel no layman either. I do have a few small businesses in few Latin American countries. I will try to write and publish my opinions here on issues that are in the news and I will try to make a connection to events in history (or the other way around). This looks to me as an interesting theme.
The topics I write about may highlight some "negative" aspects about Latin American countries. Don't let that keep you from visiting these countries! Without exception Latin American people are warmhearted and simply marvelous. You should keep in mind that most LatAm countries are young democracies, that have suffered colonialism, neo-colonialism, imposed neo-liberalism and repeatedly US military and covert interventions in the past.
