Bahamas
This is my third year of teaching at the Islands. The weather and the sourrundings are colorful and life is vibrant. Bahamians are very hospitable people. I enjoy the policentric aspect of their society, and so class participation and a collaborative environment involve us in active learning - somewhat different than my experience in the US, where most of my students tend to be more individualistics in nature.
I concentrate primarily on information systems management and enjoy the work on e-business processes and 
vulnerabilities of transactions sytems. Currently I am writing a chapter on this topic for publication. If you are expert on this topic don't hesitate to contact me via . You can follow the white papers and resource from the community.zdnet.co.uk at http://community.zdnet.co.uk

Amazonas
A view of the rain forest near the Nanay river, half and hour from the small town of Iquitos in the heart of the Amazonas. The river was low in August, but the wather was perfect- a lots of ants, few mosquitos- the rainy season starts in December in Peru by the way.
Take a look of some photos- see me having dinner with "Chonta" at the Sinchicuy lodge.
