AIFS Abroad in Seville Director
Edu Padial

Hola! My name is Edu and I have been working for AIFS Abroad since 2007, when I began coordinating language exchanges for AIFS Abroad students in Granada my hometown. From there, I began organizing more activities, weekend trips and even summer programs, which I continue to work on to this day. I studied Tourism and Work Science, an MBA, and then I worked and studied in London which was a great experience.

I love playing sports such as football, going snowboarding, running and so on. Another passion of mine is traveling, so it is a pleasure to work for AIFS Abroad, where I get to travel a lot, as well as enjoy all the activities we arrange for students. Each semester is a new experience and I absolutely love hearing about all your adventures!

I look forward to showing you Seville and helping you to adapt and make the most of your experience in Spain.
