ABOUT ME

Hi :)

I´m Christian and I´m a passionate teacher. I love to travel and learn. I´ve lived in Spain (thrice), Chile and Colombia as an EFL teacher and now I'm a secondary science teacher in Barcelona. Music is an addiction, I play the ukulele and acoustic guitar and concentrate on blues and African sounds. I feel that South America and Colombia in particular is my patria adoptiva.

Community, sharing, being with others, helping others etc are more important to me than life through a smart phone.

Hola

Soy Christian y me considero un profesor y persona muy apasionada de la vida en general. Me encanta viajar, aprender y estoy obsesionado con el español. He vivido en España (tres veces), Chile y Colombia como profe de Inglés y ahora soy profesor de ciencias de secundaria. La música es una adicción, toco la guitarra y el ukulele y me enfoco en los sonidos de blues y de música africana. Siento que Sudamérica y Colombia en particular es mi patria adoptiva.

Opino que la comunidad, estar con otros, ayudar a otros y compartir me son más importantes que la vida a través de un celular.

PHILOSOPHY

The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeing new landscapes, but in having new eyes, in seeing the universe with the eyes of another, of hundreds of others, in seeing the hundreds of universes that each of them sees.

Marcel Proust

Atrévete a pensar por ti mismo.

El verdadero viaje de descrubimiento no consiste en buscar nuevos paisajes sino mirar con otros ojos.
