CURRENT MISSION Distance ABOUT ME I´m 23, I got one degree 3 years ago and became somebody´s secretary. I got another degree in September and became somebody´s secretary. So I decided to sack that off and move to Spain. This is the travelling bit, before I find someone to stop and make a home for a few months. PHILOSOPHY I like that Zapata quote, "it´s better to die on your feet than live on your knees". But I´m better at admiring it than doing it.

Teach, Learn, Share
Teach: Loads about history, politics and current affairs, Indian cookery Learn: Some photography skills would be lovely, as would an improvement in my Spanish. Share: I make the world´s finest Chile con Carne. I kid you not, has to be tasted to be believed.
My Interests
History, especially rebels and revolutions. More than a little political, though not so you´d notice if you don´t ask. Otherwise normal young man things: football, films, music, going out, yada yada yada
