Daniel Sellen

Daniel Sellen is the author of "Adventures in Dystopia" (before dystopia was a thing!), the story of the interconnected lives of six people--three rich, three poor--living in Colombia, India, and Côte d'Ivoire.

A Canadian national, Daniel has lived and worked in over thirty countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America with the mission of poverty reduction and sustainable development. In his earlier career, he was a university lecturer, kindergarten worker, gas station attendant, English teacher, and dinosaur hunter.

For decades, Daniel worked and blogged and led the Staff Association at the World Bank, in Washington, DC. He holds a Master's in Anthropology and a Ph.D in Agricultural Economics. He recently moved to Cascais, near Lisbon, where he continues to write.
