My name is Ruddy, I'm from Costa Rica, but currently, I live in Chile with my family, I am married with three children, My wife just had the third one months ago. My wife's name is Alexandra, and she works as a nurse in a public hospital, her schedule is from 6:00 am to 3:00 pm, she doesn’t like her job because she thinks the schedule is a bit dangerous since she has to leave the house around 5:00 am and at that time there are few people on the streets.

As far as I'm concerned, I work as a cook, my shift is from 6:00 pm to 1:00 Am.
