ABOUT ME

I'm a Spaniard, but I've spent most of my life in the US, so now I'm back, teaching English, enjoying life, and trying to reconnect with my roots a bit.

PHILOSOPHY

I just think everyone has to be aware of the history and context of the people around them and not be assholes. positivity.
