About Me

After a year travelling around the world, we are now at home and we will start to accept guests :) I like travelling very much. It's like to live more and a opportunity to meet nice places and lot of people. It's a mind opening opportunity. Receiving people at home is also like to travel. I always travel with my wife Maria from more than 40 years. So when we are hosting or we want get hosted it's always for both.
We don't smoke and almost we don't drink alcohol because simply we don't like :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After some experiences we have seen this is a great idea to share life with other people. We have play both roles (hosts and guests) and almost everything as been good or very good. To share it's to live.

Interests

Nature, landscapes, people. We like very much outdoor sports: Climbing, walking, trekking, skiing, country skiing, snorkelling, diving, biking, ... But especially share time and experiences with new people around the world. Also we have worked as volunteers in Spain and in Madagascar during more than 10 years with a NGO. The NGO name in Spain is 'Fundación Agua de Coco' and in Madagascar it's called 'Bel Avenir'. You get more than you give, also you learn how is the raw life, life with no things.
