About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To become a good teacher

ABOUT ME

I am a person with different interests in life. I love traveling and discover different places and other cultures. I like to learn different things (I hate routine). I'm also very creative and have graphic design knowledge. I also practice sports. When I was a child I used to play tennis. Right know I love to play padel. I also like biking to the city and to the Turia river. I like nature and do trekking. I love movies and photography. I'm the family photographer actually!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short. Enjoy it.

"It will all be alright in the end. If it's not alright, it's not the end yet".
