ALEJANDRO GUEVARA ONOFRE: My name is Alejandro Guevara Onofre, best known as “Alex”. I have studied political science, journalism and international relations. I am a writer and professor. I spend a lot of time writing and researching about Third World countries, olympics sports, biographies and Peruvian gastronomy.
One of the most memorable moments in my life was in fact when I published my first book: an encyclopedia called Mundototal. 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. I am passionate about 1970s Music. I like reading, especially political books. My favourite book is “Murder in A Gentle Land” by Anthony Paul and John Barron. My idol is Jimmy Carter. I really admire him is because he´s so positive and enthusiastic about Third World democracy
