ABOUT ME

I'm an English teacher from Wicklow, Ireland, and I'm looking to expand my Spanish horizons before I find a nice little peublo to teach in and settle down in Spain for the year. I'm a friendly, open-minded person who loves film, reading, music, radio, meeting new people and exploring new places.

Interests

I studied Film and English Literature in university and I love to read and watch film above all else. In my spare time I also write short fiction and play the guitar, as well as getting into arguments with people about the merits of James Cameron's filimmaking.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled around Europe on a shoestring. Lived in Prague for three months... moved to Spain!

Teach, Learn, Share

My main reason for travelling to Spain is to improve my Spanish, so i'd love the opportunity to speak it and learn from my hosts.

I can also exchange this with private English classes (I am a qualified and experienced teacher).

I love to cook and would be delighted to share and learn about different types of food.

I play guitar, and enjoy playing with other people whenever possible.
