About Me

Well... so many things to tell you! I'm a hardworking teacher of English. Though I'm not a teacher yet I have been delivering classes in schools of English and some schools for 10 years or so. Love teaching, especially adolescents. I'm into languages of all sorts. I started studying Chinese but unfortunately had to drop. I have a good level of Portuguese and I'm planning to sit for Celpi bras, some time in the near future. French is also a passion for me. German... is a language I'd love to know as well. A year ago, I accommodated a German girl (an AISEC intern) for a month and a half. She tried to teach me some German.. so I know some basic chunks.
I'm a veggie, something my parents were against at first as it is not so common in my country. I have had this diet for more than four years. My philosophy is taking care of animals at all costs. And talking about animals.. I've got three dogs who I love wholeheartedly, and a tortoise which was a present for me when I turned 8. I wanted to have one but just like the ones I watched in cartoons! Pancha, as we call him, is a mysterious little guy who is very sweet! He likes being patted constantly.
As an only child, I think I am a little spoilt but I try to be generous and compassionate with people. I learnt to be sociable from a very young age since my mother did want me to be surrounded by children of my age and thus sent me to kinder at the age of two. I also played volleyball and went swimming for many many years. I must say I was not good at neither of these sports...
I enjoy being with others, listening to want they want to share and share my experiences with them as well. Social bonds are so important in this world. We do not live alone, we are born, grow, live and die in company of others.
I am also keen on watching series and film. Name any film.. for sure, I have seen it.
That's just a little bit... but I am much more than that.. so to know me better, come to Argentina!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: James Blunt. Oh my, I love his music. And you can't deny he's sooo attractive.
Favourite films: Any in which Drew Barrymore, Jim Carrey, Adam Sandler the Wayans bothers are the protagonists. British films are my fav. Love listening to English peple's accent. I melt every time I listen to Colin Firth talking... so romantic and sexy! :P
Books: Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Northanger Abbey... any of Jane Austen's novels. I read them once and again, with the same enthusiasm every time.
