After my university studies, (French, Spanish and teaching at secondary level) I took off to Europe to try to get some first-hand experience in the languages I had studied.
At the moment, I'm an 'auxiliar' in a Spanish secondary school in Andalucia, and am loving it! Also giving some English conversation lessons to fairly advanced learners, and enjoying scratching my head about why we say this instead of that in English!
I enjoy writing, both fiction and non-fiction, so this site is a great opportunity to do some more of that!
I also love music, and play the piano, flute and saxophone.
