Description

My name is Adam and I am 33 and from England

About me:
I am a teacher in boarding schools and have worked in England and Switzerland. I have taught Spanish, and would like to teach Art. I play and coach a lot of rugby and cricket and enjoy being outside and in the fresh air. I have just completed a CASI 1 and 2 course (Canadian Association of Snowboard Instructors) and an AST 1 and 2 (Avalanche Skills training) in Banff in Canada and am looking for my next mini adventure before returning to real life and teaching.

I have a degree in Hispanic Studies (which included Spanish, and teaching English in Madrid for 1 year), and then I did a Masters in fine art. After that I started working at a brewery, then I travelled a little in South America, now I teach Spanish. While in South America I volunteered on a ranch in Peru for 2 months which was awesome, and taught me about horses. I love playing and coaching rugby and cricket when I can. I also really enjoy building things - tables and benches and beds mostly. . I still make art and sometimes have commissions, usually portraits or figurative work. (www.adamburbidge.com)
My main goal is to speak as much Spanish as possible, also to have a complete change of environment and get out into the mountains.

Anyway, that's the plan! let me know if I sound like someone you could use!
Un abrazo
