traveled to Germany to do some internships at Deutsche Welle,

Desde mi visin
Desde mi Visin is an Ecuadorian radio program broadcast through
Radio Visin, directed by Michelle Oquendo. The program emerged
when a space on the radio was free for two years. Then it was there
that Michelle sought a name with which to identify herself and there
arises "From My Vision", because she has something different to say
and more than anything because she is not considered as a very
conventional person.

This is a radio program that proposes an analysis of the current taking


into account daily issues, without neglecting the film, literature,
biographies of the great characters and those who have made history.
But she also speaks of the ordinary people, of those human beings
who play a role in the offices, who communicate life to the streets,
which reflect their own individuality and, simultaneously, the
collective being.
