CURRENT MISSION

to have a simple life :)

ABOUT ME

I'm very curious and always trying to make new friends from every part of the world. I like learning all kind of things and meeting new people. I'm quite shy when you first meet me, but I can be really talkative and fun when I feel at ease with people.

I work as a professor of Spanish as a first language here in Lima. I like my job very much because I have to read and have an interesting contact with different people.

I will be travelling in the US during this year, so I am not accepting guests at the moment.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live
