CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying life.

ABOUT ME

Well, it's not so easy to describe oneself; friends might give a better description... I would say I'm happy, full of life, open towards new experiences, witty, I enjoy the company of nice people, I like the summer and the sea but I'm also in a good mood when it's raining...
I'm a grammar school teacher for English and Geography.

PHILOSOPHY

Be yourself. Be open minded.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to prepare meals together with friends- so you might learn how to make a home made pizza, for example. I also like to be creative; I like handcrafts and needlework- so, I could teach u how to knit a pair of socks, a bonnet or a jumper...
I really would like to improve my French and English and learn some other languages. And I want to learn about other cultures- that's why I'm here: to travel and to meet nice people from other countries.
