About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Always develop empathy

ABOUT ME

We are a Spanish couple in our 30's that really enjoy music, books and, of course, travelling, but also walking (or biking) around the beautiful neighborhoods of our great city having drinks and tapas in the nice bars and taverns.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others as you want to be treated.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We have surfed and we are hosting also.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We have just arrived from Australia where we have been surfing around the country. It was an incredible experience that we can't wait to repeat. We also want to host surfers from all around the world.

Interests

*Very interested in books and literature. American authors like Salinger, Steinbeck, Faulkner, Yates, Bukowski, Kerouac... Russians like Dostoievski, Tolstoi, Chejov, and many many more.
*Music! rock, blues, garage, psychodelic from de 60's & 70's and also classic deep house music.
*We love going out for dinner, to have a few beers around with some tapas, we do a lot of sports, we are both rugby players and coaches but, now that we are retiring from rugby as active players, we are playing a lot of tennis.
*Of course, we love to travel, the experience and the adventure of it. And we love to share that experiences with other travellers, thats why we think CouchSurfing is so good.
*Mountains and beaches. Discovering the wonders of nature.
