CURRENT MISSION

To know as much people as I can, from different cultures. I would like to know all the Earth´s cultures

ABOUT ME

I´m still young, I hope. I'm now a scientific/technical translator and in-company Spanish teacher.
I have a lot of hobbies: dive, traveling, playing mahjong, talking with friends at nice places...
And I absolutely crazy about flags and Pacific Islands. My golden dream is to visit Fiji.

PHILOSOPHY

If a problem could be fixed, don't worry, fix it! And if it couldn't, don't worry anyway, you can't fix it!
