Hi everyone! I am Francisco Martinez. I was born in a village called Corral de Almaguer, Spain (probably the place which Cervantes mentioned at the beginning of his famous book “El Quijote”). I grew up surrounded by my family and friends, always with a football on my feet. I graduated with a Bachelor of Education and a Master of Cognitive Neuroscience. On top of that, I studied Postgraduate to teach Spanish as a Foreign Language. At EISB, I hold the roles of Physical Education and Spanish Teacher, as well as Foreign Languages Coordinator. I have lived in Madrid (Spain), Chicago (USA), Dublin (Ireland) and, currently, Bratislava (Slovakia). I love reading about History, my favorite band is Coldplay and one dream to come true is to live in Finland.
