About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Speak a second language better than my first
ABOUT ME
I'm at the stage in my life where I'm trying to work out what I want to do with the rest of it. I've got 2 weeks off as I change jobs - Spanish has been a passion of mine since I worked in Barcelona (as an engineer).I love the people, the language and the culture. I'm hoping to dust of the Spanish I picked up in Barcelona all those years ago and meet some great people along the way.
PHILOSOPHY
To speak another language is to posses another soul

Teach, Learn, Share
I'm a very good mathematician, I've got good technical skills and I can normally bully technology into working the way it's supposed to!
Also I can juggle and ride a unicycle (but not at the same time yet).
I'm a little obsessed with Spanish and I'd love to learn from anyone I meet.
