What can I say...?

Well I'm Maria. An English teacher as you all know who really likes her job (most days)! Apart from that boring piece of information I also like playing the guitar but my neighbours don't like it very much! I also love cooking - especially Thai food. Oh and I like reading novels. I always used to read before I went to sleep but now I do spanish grammar exercises so that I go to sleep thinking about Spanish. The idea is that this helps me absorb the language without making much effort but people tell me that this doesn't work!
I have been living and working in Chile for two years and love being here! I love fishing in Chile's beautiful rivers and lakes. I live in Nunoa which I think is one of the best places to live in Santiago because there are lots of trees, no metro, not so many offices and high buildings and there is a wonderful plaza there (especially good at the weekend for a nice glass of wine with some friends!).
I am from London, England which is also a great place but far too expensive to live in!
