About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find my real mission

ABOUT ME

Antonio: Maybe the first impression about me is that I am serious or shy, I need few minutes to gain confidence. After that, first impression may change. I like travelling, specially around Europe. I love meeting people from other countries and learn their cultures and languages, at least the most common and useful words.

For some years I´ve been travelling alone with my backpack or few friends. I find very interesting to walk around the streets of the city and watch people´s style of life. Since a couple of years I travel with my girlfriend (we met in Germany, but we were almost neighbours in Madrid).

Irene: She hasn´t visited many countries in europe so I want to show her how pretty they are. She is more outgoing than me, just a bit shy to speak in foreign languages. She works as a teacher in a little children school.

We both are open minded, affective, have good sense of humor and are ready to meet new people over the world!

PHILOSOPHY

Try to grow up as honest people, help others and have a balanced life.
