One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I visited La Habana I walked into someone's house. I opened a door and found a crocodile in a room.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach Spanish to anyone willing to learn, and share my knowledge on Spanish History and Politics. I also know where to get the best vegetarian food in Madrid.
I’ll be happy to help you out with anything that you may need at home, like gardening or walking your dog.
I'd like to learn the Alexander technique.
