Hallelujah, let me in.
I don’t know if when I was a child I ever got lost.

“Hello! My name is Esteban. I am from Peru and I am 30 years old. I would like to work here because…”, this is me introducing myself to myself in front of the mirror, rehearsing for a job interview. Don’t you ever try that? It’s quite silly but in turn very fun. Continue reading “Happy 30”
