Franco Antonio Bastida

Everyone has a story to tell—if you are willing to listen.

I grew up in La Laguna, in the heart of Mexico's Northern desert, but left home to find my place in this vast world.

I've covered politics, foreign affairs and human interest stories in the Americas, writing about communities from the tip of Alaska to Tierra del Fuego.

My work has been published in Foreign Policy In Focus, PanAm Post, Carnegie Council, Latin America News Dispatch and Security Assistance Monitor.
