Overview
About Me
Hello!
Don't really like to describe myself, but I understand it's needed in these kind of websites =).
Here some key aspects:
-I work in a shelter for homeless people and I study Hispanic Philology.
-I consider myself as positive guy, but melancholic at the same time. Calm person but restless sometimes too.
-I don't understand life without humor, specially the one coming from Cervantes - irony ;-)
-Big lover of literature and languages. That doesn't mean I'm not interested in other themes. In fact, I also love to discuss about politics, society, history, religions... That's the point of meeting all kind of people (And to get different perspectives about any subject).
-I want to be a Spanish teacher abroad.
