My name is Álvaro, I am 26 years old and I am from Spain.
Although I have lived in China for only 2 years I am very familiar with it because I have lived in many different places. I came originally to learn Chinese in Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, where I stayed for one semester. After that, I moved to Taipei and kept studying Chinese at Taiwan National University. When I finished my course in Taiwan, I started working as an English teacher at a 中学 in Northern Shaanxi but I stayed there only for one semester. My next stop was Handan, in Hebei Province. After all that, I decided that I wanted to get to know better Southern China because I am not very familiar with Guangdong and surroundings.
Every time I had a holiday I took advantage of it and went traveling. I have traveled a lot around Asia: South Korea, Taiwan Island, many parts of China, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, and Cambodia... Traveling is my most important hobby but I also love films and I love to watch Asian films.
I am just 26 years old so I do not feel like I have any advice for the students; I am just a little bit older than them. But I would like to encourage them to go abroad and understand the world outside China, which is so different.
我叫阿尔瓦罗，今年26岁，来自西班牙。
尽管我在中国仅仅住了两年，但我对中国非常熟悉，因为我曾经在很多不同地方待过。最初，我到杭州浙江大学学了一学期的中文。然后，我到了台北，在台湾国立大学继续学习中文。在我结束台湾的课程以后，我在陕西北部的中学当英语老师，但我只待了一学期。我的下一站是河北邯郸。在那以后，出于对广东及其周边地区还不是很了解，我决定深入了解中国南部的城镇。
每次放假我都会好好利用它去旅游。我在亚洲去了很多地方，包括韩国、台湾、中国部分地区、老挝、泰国、马来西亚、柬埔寨......旅游成了我最主要的爱好，但我也喜欢电影，尤其喜欢看亚洲的电影。
我只有26岁，暂时对我的学生还没有太多的建议，因为我年龄仅比他们大一点点，但是我会鼓励他们出国，去了解中国以外的世界，是多么的不同。(国际合作与交流中心 陈惠斯供稿)
