CURRENT MISSION

Start my own online language school and travel the world!

ABOUT ME

I don't know exactly what my friends would say about me! I guess I'm friendly and open-minded thanks to having lived in three fairly different countries and have visited places in different continents with completely different cultures. I'm an English teacher but have studied political philosophy. I have a couple of facebook pages and a blog on how to learn English successfully plus a blog on politics. I also run a weekly language exchange.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live! Noone's better than anyone else as a whole, just different. I strive for Carpe Diem but must admit my English teaching job kinda prevents me from doing that sometimes! I think solidarity is the key to a better world.

Interests

I like learning 'bout and from people who're different to me, going out for drinks or coffee, films, music. A good chat and a couple of beers will make my day! I love going for a walk in the city and finding 'bout new places. I also like going for a walk in the Retiro park at least once a week as there's always something interesting going on there (a bit like Hyde Park),especially on sundays, and for free!
