I grew up in Spain but I have been living for mor than 10 years in Utrecht, the Netherlands. I used to work as a software engineer but luckily I realized on time that it was killing me so I shifted into languages and now I work as a teacher of Spanish at Instituto Cervantes and as a freelance translator and subtitler. I like running, yoga, meditation, films, reading and all kind of music. It sounds pretty boring, but I like that: then you will be surprised when you see that I can drink beer, make jokes and even laugh from time to time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't fly anymore, but I jumped once from a Cessna with a parachute above the Namibian desert.
Oh, and I fixed once my freezer, can you believe that? And I built a rack with my swiss knife and some wood I found in the garbage. Quite impressive, isn't it?

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you Spanish (I am a teacher), and share my knowledge about fermentation and germination.
