Hello dear people!

My name is Paul and I will be staying at El Puntal from now till May. 

I am from Graz, a city in the southeast of Austria and I am studying to be a Primary School Teacher. 

Currently  I am doing an Erasmus+ Semester in Huelva, and beside my courses at the university, I am every Tuesday and Wednesday at El Puntal for English lessons in the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th grade.
