About Max

I am a philosopher, world traveler, long-distance walker and sport fanatic. I am deeply honored by the opportunities I’ve had to engage with diverse cultures and perspectives throughout my life. Over the years, I have lived in Argentina, Uruguay, Peru, England, the Netherlands, and Scotland, and each of these places has shaped me in profound ways. The richness of these experiences has nurtured in me a deep sensitivity to the ways people from different backgrounds and experiences navigate the world and communicate their needs and values.

My journey into philosophy has been a personal one, rooted in a curiosity about human connection, ethics, and the cultural narratives that influence how we relate to one another. Through my studies and experiences, I’ve come to believe that dialogue, empathy, and understanding are key to bridging divides and fostering meaningful relationships. In my role as a dialogue moderator and through my involvement with non-profit organizations, I have witnessed the power of open, compassionate communication to heal wounds and build bridges.

Living in various countries has allowed me to see firsthand the beauty and complexity of human experience. It’s also deepened my understanding of the emotional resources we carry—love, empathy, and compassion—that, unlike material wealth, only grow stronger when shared. I feel strongly that a cultural and technological shift toward embracing these resources in every aspect of society is essential. By focusing on cooperation over competition and nurturing compassion in our daily interactions, I believe we can move beyond the fear-driven narratives that too often govern our world.

As a woman living abroad, I’ve gained a unique perspective on identity and belonging. The challenges and gifts that come with navigating foreign lands have helped me realize how transformative it can be to blend cultures, values, and identities in a way that promotes harmony and connection.

Through my writing, I hope to share what I’ve learned, encouraging others to embrace the values of compassion, emotional intelligence, and collective well-being. My greatest hope is to inspire a world where cultural and technological progress work hand in hand to create a more compassionate, conscious, and interconnected global community.
