Heyyy errbody! This is Bentley! Marga just sent word that I could post on here. That being said I will take this opportunity to express myself in a more colloquial way on this platform. A little about me, I'm originally from the U.S., have lived all over, but got caught  in the pandemic on this island and have spent the last couple of years exploring and semi-settling in. Something I've always resisted previously. I've always been living on the SE side of the island, represent! Crazily enough I have lived in Maó, Biniancolla, Es Canutells and now Es Castell, in the backwoods. I have a kitten, 2 dogs, and 6 chickens. I love learning new things, different cultures, cuisines, festivities, gardening, international affairs, music, art, want to get better at math, and I'd consider myself to be fairly spiritual. I am passionate about travel and on a personal journey of learning about self worth, what it means to actually take care of oneself, and connecting with others. Also really want to get back in shape. Back in the day I was an athlete (soccer, track, cross country, irish dancing, and so on, but now I just go on walks and random hikes on the Cami de Cavalls) My goal is to start bringing people on hikes in English around the island. Catch ya later peeps! Stay cool!

About me, I am friendly, talkative and collaborative, also I am  a freelance real state agent, accountant and insurance agent, too. Sometimes, I need to speak English with some clients and decided to study English to do a master in neuroscience, but my life changed and I started my actual present job.
I like cooking, gardening and horticulture, walking, cycling, reading books of different type such as Psychology, essays, novels and gardening books. Now I am reading a book about circular economy in English and I have a pair of novels started from last summer in English, too.
Now my life is very stressing, but I am dreaming of being able to travel around Europe in the future.
My family is little, it is my husband and three children, two boys and a girl, the oldest lives in France with his girlfriend, she is pregnant, the girl lives in Es Castell with her boyfriend and my younger son are is studying computer engineering in Barcelona.
