After, I published a book about History of Women in the United States (Spanish). At the moment, I am working a book about Third World. In the future, I would like to publish books about Olympic Games, democracy, ecology and nations of the world. I am very interested in projects about democracy, olympics sports and women´s rights.My hobbies are drawing, doing sports and learning about Third World cultures.
