Our 1st Conference Presentation [VIDEO]

Although the Life Rocks Unschooling Conference ended just a few days ago, the experience left Miro and I completely changed forever. We are both putting together our posts about our experiences, but for now, Miro and I are resting and trying to recover from the flu.

Together, Miro and I wrote our script for our talk. We rehearsed and practiced our presentation countless …

[13 May 2012 | 11 Comments | ]
‘Divercity’ and the Young Consumer in Lima [CRITICAL REVIEW]

Programming a Consumer
Miro holding his Divercity cash & credit card, primed for the system.
Start them young.  Brand engagement  is an essential necessity for any successful business. I know, I used to be a branding professional.
Divercity takes this concept to heart and makes a healthy profit in the making.
But the profit is not just in the form of making money on these children & their parentes.. It’s through creating a future loyal customers through artificial engagement.
Lima, the capital of Peru has an addition to its list of child attractions. Divercity is the located …

Living Without the Norm
[21 Nov 2011 | 28 Comments | ]
Living Without the Norm

So, what do I live without, really?

After travelling for almost 2 and a half years I’ve come to realize I am unique. I am unique in the sense that I don’t have a schedule. I am unique in the sense that the rules of society don’t apply to me. I am unique in the sense that I can be spontaneous. I’ve also realized that most children (or people in general) don’t ever get a chance to break free from the system.

So, what do I live without, really?

All of that clutter. The things I don’t need. I live without the schedule, and the rules of society can’t hold me down. The only things that can hold me down, are the things in my backpack.

Erosion of the American Dream

The American Dream
 
Once upon a time I woke up and realized the American Dream was our catalyst to knowing exactly what we DIDN’T want in order to focus on exactly what we DID want.
Not exactly what you expected to read, was it? But let’s back up just a bit….
