MÓNICA GONZÁLEZ-KLINDWORTH · School Trips Organiser

I was born in Hamburg, Germany, and was brought up speaking both Spanish and German. I have a degree in English Language and Literature and a PGCE for teaching English in Spanish secondary schools. I also have a PGCE from Bristol University for teaching Spanish and German in British secondary schools.

I have taught Spanish and German in different secondary schools in the UK, such as Hayesfield School in Bath, Sir Bernard Lovell in Bristol and Chilton Trinity School in Bridgwater, as well as in adult education colleges like the City of Bristol College.

Having family in Spain, Germany and England and close links in South America, where I worked teaching English for 2 years, I have always had a passion for languages, travelling and finding out about different cultures.

I love my job at Hispanglia because I believe that school trips boost students’ and teachers’ motivation. They provide a sense of purpose and a cultural awareness, which is the real background to the language they are studying.

IGNACIO DE MIGUEL · Cultural Trips Organiser

I was born in San Sebastian, in the Basque country, in 1971. I obtained my degree in Mathematics at the University of Malaga. Since I was young I have had a passion for travelling and finding out about other cultures. I have lived in the UK and in France.

After gaining valuable personal and professional experience, I decided to return to Spain and work in tourism, which is what I enjoy most. I love my job because Hispanglia gives me the possibility of combining culture and fun within our trips. It’s a rewarding job, since it allows me to share my knowledge of Andalusia and encourage others to explore it further.
