About

I am from Frankfurt, Germany, though being half Spanish. Currently we are living in Madrid, Spain. My wife is originally from Albania. Over the last 20 years we have been living and working in more than 10 countries in Europe, Africa, Asia and Latin America (although not always together). We have two boys - one was just born (10/2010) and the other one is three years old (9/2007). I would characterize us as open minded and easy going.
Interests: photography, , outdoor activities, travelling, Volleyball, scuba diving
