Let's introduce ourselves. Shall I go first?!<br /><br />Ok. Here I go.<br /><br />My name is Cristina Costa. I'm 25 years old and I am a Foreign Language teacher and a naval officer. I was born and raised in the Algarve, where I lived till I was 18. At that age I set off to Lisbon to study Modern Languages and Literatures (English and German) and decided to stay in the capital after completing my studies.<br />I have been serving the Portuguese Navy since 2002 and love what I do.<br /><br />In my spare time I enjoy reading, practicing sports, going to the movies or to the theater, or just hanging out with friends.<br /><br />I am a web/internet enthusiast...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12742589-111557575170586471?l=thenglishquill.blogspot.com'/></div>ENS Cristina Costanoreply@blogger.com4
