Bank for more than 20 years working in Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa, Asia, Middle East, and Europe. He was also a professor in the USA and Israel. ACTIVE MIND, ACTIVE BODY, RELAXED SPIRIT .....
My experience living on kibbutz (communal farm) in Israel had significant impact on my
personal and professional development, shaped my sense of identity and purpose, enriched my
connection with community, and has driven my desire for justice, and a simple life in balance with the
land and nature. THINK GLOBALLY ACT LOCALLY and try to be an Agro-Eco Pragmatist in thought and action..

Although Paulo's work still takes him to many places in the world, it is peaceful Costa Rica and more specifically Finca Rio
Perla, that is really home. PURA VIDA!!!!
SHALOM, SALAAM, PEACE, PAZ
