WAIT! Before reading this, you should type down "Miss Honolulu" by Carlos Sadness in Youtube so you can listen it while you're reading this (no particular reason, I just love the song) Are you ready? Ok, let's go! ^^

ENG: Hi everyone! I'm Eli :)

I'm half English half Spanish. I have a degree in Linguistics and Literature, and also a master for teaching. I love literature, but I'm also very interested in philosophy.
I'm learning three languages: German, Japanese and French (but I'm not a pro in any of them :'3 ). My dream is to become a literary translator.
I would like to listen others point of views about life!

ESP: ¡Hola a todos! Soy Eli :)

Soy medio inglesa medio española. Estoy graduada en Filología Hispánica y tengo un máster de Educación Secundaria y Bachiller. Me encanta la literatura, pero también estoy muy interesada en la filosofía.
Estoy estudiando tres idiomas: alemán, japonés y francés (pero no soy una pro en ninguno de ellos :'3 ). Mi sueño es trabajar en traducción literaria.
¡Me encantaría escuchar otros puntos de vista sobre la vida!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people from all over the world. I think it's wonderful to know the circumstances of each person and learn so much about them. The world is full of precious cultures I want to know! :D And I want to share my culture too :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I have been teaching Spanish and English since I was a teenager. I like teaching a lot since it's so great to see how someone's language skills are improving thanks to you (^-^)/
