About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life and simple things

ABOUT ME

If there would be one adjective to describe me, it would be curious. Curious about life, cultures, places, experiences, ideas, languages, music, art.... I never stay still, I am constantly learning, always changing.

All these interests made me choose translation studies, which allowed me to discover many new ideas and live in Madrid, Montréal and Forlí, then I studied an Erasmus mundus on Spanish teaching, visiting Bilbao, Barcelona, Campinas and Stockholm :)

Now, I teach Spanish online and I live in a small village in the north of Spain.

PHILOSOPHY

If you have an opportunity, you must throw yourself into it. It may never come around again.

Interests

I'm interested in music, dancing (especially salsa!!), cinema, reading, translation, art, photography, cooking, travelling, getting to know different cultures, meeting people from all over the world...In short: so many things that make this life worth living :)
