I found a worldwide species that might be it's ID - Heteropoda venatoria.
Female Heteropoda venatoria have those white line between their eyes and "fangs".

But it's eyes doesn't match the eye patterns of wolf spiders.
It is a huntsman spider (sparassidae).

It's a type of Wolf Spider. They like insects not humans, so they generally will leave you alone.
