About Me

Read before sending us a message:

- I am Spanish and I have been in Georgia for 12 years.
- It take less than 1 min. to put at least my name in your message
- If I confirm your staying, you have 24h to confirm that you are coming, otherwise I will cancel it thinking that you already have another place
- You are staying in the room of my soon Teo. Teo does online school in his room and play until 11pm. maximum. During the day you have to share the room with him, during the night and up to 10 am, is all for you. Otherwise we will not have a room available to host anyone.
- Teo sleep in the master bedroom with me.

Right now, only Teo and I (Alejandro) are at Home. Nikol is traveling and Deia is studying abroad.

I will be happy to show you Tbilisi, Markets, guiding you around or having conversations about Real Estate in Georgia, Hospitality (I had a hotel in Georgia for many years), Airbnbs, Permaculture, PassivHaus, Sustainability, spirituality, and much more .

Thank you!

CURRENT MISSION

Experience and feel the most we are able to from this life experience. Then, share it all generously.

ABOUT US

What started as a friendly travellers info request on Facebook in 2007, turned into a quirky courtship nearly 2 years later and a true fairy tale life , filled with all the good (and uncomfortable) one could desire. Together, with our two children, we continue to write this authentic story where nature, love, and wonder are our guides.

We believe we are here to live an extraordinary life that is authentic and whole. We fell in the career trap for a bit, but are back to living the good life. Our dreams have continuously move us and our children around the world discovering the magic of different cultures and lifestyles. Through this living account, we hope to inspire other people to take the leap of faith and bask in the possibility of what life can bring each of us if open to it.

We are grounded, calm, intellectual, and curious personalities. Our family includes Alejandro (myself), Nikol (wife), Deia (18), and Teo (10).

PHILOSOPHY

Feel the life we are living. Time is not known, but how we feel right now is. Live through love. Trust the chances. Laugh often. Play. Travel. LOVE BIG.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW WE PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In the past 10 years, we have hosted a handful of travelers. We love the idea of sharing space and time with others. We look forward to adventuring back into the world of travel community after losing ourselves in the corporate life and neglecting the importance of connecting with people. We are happy to be back.

Currently, we are interested in meeting locals and expats who we are willing to share and discover the wonders of moments in time with.

Nikol is traveling right now, so me (Alejandro) will be more than happy to host you or show you Tbilisi, from the eyes of someone that has been living here for 12 years.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For the past three years ,we have been living in a national park at the base of the Caucasus Mountains. We have witnessed and been guided by the nature that surrounds us. Perhaps, above all the amazing things we have each "done" throughout our lives... developing a relationship with nature has been the most extraordinary experience of them all. This, we love to share and talk about. Furthermore, feel it is a much needed "thing" for us to all "do" in our lives and for the wellness of the world we are experiencing right now.

Now we live in the center of Tbilisi.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Love, trust, surrender, cooking, herbalism, medicinal plants, eco-psychology, entrepreneurship (hotel / restaurant / customer service), import/export/logistics, functional fitness...
