Hi, My name is Juan Pablo. I am 34 years old. People say that I am a very happy person! I like to go dancing, go surfing and go to the gym every day. My life is very busy. I live with my two brothers, Isac and Alexander.

Isac is a shy person, so he does not like to talk to anybody. He is an accountant, and sometimes he is so angry at his job that he wants to quit every other week. Isac is not a bad person. He is stressed about everything.

Alexander is the opposite. He is a calm and relaxing person. He can talk about any subject for hours. He likes doing yoga and meditation and work as a kindergarten teacher. He is not a sad man, he is a joyful and peaceful one.
