I\\’m Edwin Xico<\/strong>, and I used to do a little of everything, I like to do a lot of things. From reading novels to skating; from enjoying a nice moment cooking something new to spend the watch full seasons of TV series eating only fast food.<\/p>

Time makes a person grow and so does our obligations. I realised that there is not enough time to do everything I liked and still be successful, so I decided to focus on the things I liked the most and from those came the topics I write on my different blogs.<\/p>

Professionally, I work in the digital marketing <\/strong>and web technologies<\/strong> industry, but in general I like to get involved and strongly support organisations that are generating a positive impact on society<\/strong>. Finally, I enjoy taking a few hours during the week to go out on my bike to discover new roads, or take my best friend \\”Lucho\\” for a trip, and document some of our adventures.<\/p>

Most of my posts are in Spanish, since it is my native language, so check this link for all the Spanish posts<\/a>. But here are a few that I had the time to translate into English as well:<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t
