Why Is Pablo All Over the Place?

I promise you that was the one and only time I referred to myself in the third person. So why add yet another blog to the already staggering ocean of online content? In short, because I need to sort my thoughts out loud, to give shape to ideas that otherwise would drift away in the noise. I want a place where I can confront both promising seeds and useless mindfarts and turn them into something coherent. Some of these ideas are simply for my own benefit; a written record that they were mine to claim. Others are calls to action, invitations to anyone who has the means that I am missing to them up and materialize them. If I don’t commit these thoughts to text, they will vanish, like mist in the morning sun. If I do, they might help us take one more step, however little, in the direction of the world I want to live in.

You need to know that, for personal reasons that I may or may not reveal in due time, I only started truly living quite recently, and since then I have been in a race with myself to make up for lost time. I have been sampling every experience I once only dared to imagine: accepting invitations and challenges that once intimidated me, jumping into creative pursuits that felt beyond my reach, and building skills that were once a nothing but a nebulous dream. I will continue to try everything I once hoped for, and note this: It's not as a checklist, it is the natural, pleasurable, human experience of life. I want to achieve milestones that matter to me and make me grow. I want to feel the thrill of new discoveries and the quiet satisfaction of small victories. I know I'm not the first, and I will certainly not be the last, but now I sense that the time has come to share this unfolding story; to let others see what it looks like when someone decides to stop waiting and start doing.

Looking back, I think about the years I have spent writing for others as a copywriter, but this is the first time I am writing from a personal place. Sure, I will share some stuff about my professional life; my work in tutoring, language acquisition, and writing/editing, but that is not my main focus. I want to share the quirks and obsessions that color my off-hours. You will read tales of the impossible student who tested every ounce of my patience and the chill one who reminded me why I love teaching in the first place. You will hear about the WoW raid I spectacularly wiped on and the unforgettable one I managed to clear without a single casualty. You will see that my handwriting remains at kindergarten level, while my sketches are pretty good (if I do say so myself). You will discover how obtaining my first master’s degree ignited a hunger for academia so fierce that I enrolled in a second program, and why a PhD will have to wait for now.

Bottomline, I have a proposition for you. I intend to help you by sharing all the little treasures I've discovered so far, and sure, I may be willing to do a little free-of-charge writing to help your business (but please do credit me). In return, I hope you will help me by offering feedback, challenging my assumptions, and joining me in turning these ideas into reality. Do we have a deal?

Shameless Plug

I’m Pablo P. V. , a creative copywriter and passionate educator with a unique global perspective. Over the past decade, I’ve combined my love for language and writing to create engaging experiences around the world. As a multilingual professional (native Spanish and English, Portuguese B2), I am uniquely prepared to cater to your global audience. With an M.Ed. in Literacy, Linguistics, and Literature, and 16,000+ hours of classroom teaching across Asia, Europe, the Americas, and the Middle East, I understand how to connect with people from basically everywhere. In other words, I bring creativity, cultural sensitivity, and a friendly voice to every project. Background My career began in Bolivia, where I started as a junior designer and sales executive, building up skills in multimedia design and business communication. That foundation led me abroad (but not in the way you may be thinking). For six years I taught English and eventually developed curriculum at iTutorGroup, one of the w...

The Current, the Ideal, the Possible: Reforming Bolivian Education for the 2025–2030 Period and Beyond

  The Current, the Ideal, the Possible: Reforming Bolivian Education for the 2025–2030 Period and Beyond by Pablo P. V. This document outlines a visionary reform plan to modernize Bolivia’s K–12 education system. It begins by diagnosing current challenges, including politicization of education, absence of international benchmarking (PISA), and outdated infrastructure, teaching methods, and curriculum. Next, it analyzes socio-cultural and historical factors, noting that aside from the 1955 post-Revolution educational code, there has been no truly comprehensive reform (Jimenez Quispe, 2011). It also examines contemporary challenges, like shortened attention spans from short-format social media overconsumption and the rise of AI-assisted essay writing, and identifies the panorama these factors create. The final section proposes concrete solutions: a fully gamified, technology-integrated learning environment; media-rich curricula; differentiated academic paths aiming for associate-degr...
