CURRENT MISSION

Discovering people, the world and caring about my friends.

ABOUT ME

I'm English and Spanish teacher in a private school.

I try to travel as frequently as possible. I was brought up in a conservative and religious family, therefore I am somehow influenced by the Church and attached to God. However, as every human being, I doubt and search for answers to most pivotal questions. I wonder. Like Rodriguez. I am open to your view to the World, Life, Extistance.

My childhood is pretty much defined by old Disney animated films, such as: The Beauty and The Beast, Snow White, The Lion King, Sleeping Beauty, Bambi, Dumbo, One Hundred and One Dalmatians, Pocahontas, The Aristocats, Toy Story. I have a lot of sentiment for them and feel nostalgic about them, especially the ones with Spanish dubbing (actually, I find it hard to accept any other version!).

I'm afraid of the muppets or anything that has the same facial expression for every emotion.

PHILOSOPHY

I always say that there are no unlucky experiences. We should treat them as a lesson and an adventure to look forward to.

"people change. feelings change. it doesn't mean that the love once shared wasn't true and real. it simply just means that sometimes when people grow, they grow apart."

MOVIES: The Perks of Being a Wallflower, 500 Days of Summer, Life in a Day, A Good Year, Before Sunrise trilogy, Joe Black, old Disney films, Quentin Tarantino, David Fincher, Christopher Nolan, Wes Anderson,
