ABOUT ME

I'm a really easygoing guy. Lived in Paris for 8 seven months in 08-09 and 6 months in Spain in 2005. I'm quite helpful and handy. I love to have interesting conversations. I consider myself funny and some other people also does it. However, I'm very respectful about other people's lifes. And I kind of play guitar. I live with my family so my family will be your family too.

PHILOSOPHY

"La paz comienza con una sonrisa".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Some many things: I've written some books, filmed a professiona short film (hope is not the last one), I have given free hugs in my hometown, talked in front of more than 200 people...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Spanish, teach how to write a story or how to shoot it, I can also share my passion for books and authors. I share my laughs and opinions about many stuff. I would like to learn to swim properly because I suck at it. I'd like to dance properly too, because I like doing it but I need practice. Any kind of improvement is well received :)

Countries I’ve Visited

Cuba, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In

France, Mexico, Spain
