I think it is a pretty safe city. Since it is a small town, you don't worry about that kind of things. It is not chaotic, there are mostly local people and people are very kind. I don't speak Spanish but Spanish people are so helpful, still tries to help and they are smiling a lot which I love most about the people :)

About me

I like to work with people I am very sociable although I can enjoy spending time by myself as well. I love nature, I like hiking and something I would love to be able to do some day is scuba diving. I love to travel and get to know other cultures, I just think is so interesting to see how other people live and think because I don’t think my way to do things is always the best, I am open to learn from other people and improve my personality each time so I am always willing to listen to people even if I don’t agree with the way they think. I like sing and I am in a performative group in where we sing and act and we want to raise awareness about a social problem, our last project was about gender violence. I love music in general and one of my favorite plans is going to nature with my friends play music together and try to meditate as well. I would describe myself as empathic, positive, adventurer and very curious. I have studied pedagogy and I have a lot of experience working with kids as a camp counselor, teaching robotic, scouts etc. I worked in Minnesota U.S.A as a assistant teacher in a elementary school. I have participated in different volunteers in scouts, camp counselor with youth people with disabilities, in a school giving speeches in a difficult behavior class and with homeless people. I don't live in Valladolid, I live in a village close to Valladolid but it is very easy to take a bus and in 20 minutes you will be there in the center of Valladolid.
