Chinese restaurant in La Coruña - José Luis Rodríguez-Olveira
Hi, I am a 47 year old teacher of Spanish in the South East of England. I am also a translator (specialised in Law), a TESOL teacher and a writer. I have been writing mainly in Spanish: short stories and articles on present affairs, but I also have some work in English. I am an avid reader and Internet has become an important tool to search for news and information all around the world. I enjoy writing about my travels (I am also an avid traveller), about present affairs in Spain and UK, about gay issues, tolerance, human rights and also about the effects, generally negative, that organised religion has on society in general.
