*Lu is from Ecuador / Juanjo is from Colombia and grew up in the USA.

*We have 2 rescued dogs, Nala and Lolita, our "perrhijas" 🥰

*Love nature and animals, especially dogs.
(However, we learned that the word "nature" is not properly used since it englobes it all on earth.
So we would rather say we love the natural environments and outdoor activities.)🌳

*We do our best to keep a lifestyle that's healthy for us and kind to others.
Therefore, we practice veganism as much as possible for animal welfare, human and non-human.💚

*Enjoy conversations about:
- Philosophy
- History
- General Culture
- Experiences and life lessons that motivated self-development 🧭

*Our goals in 2025:
- Improve our French and German.
- Improve our vegan cooking.
- Learn about permaculture/bioconstruction.💡

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's not just about having a place to crash, it's about interacting with people from other cultures, with whom we can enrich each other’s life experiences through a fare exchange of mutual support.

Interests

We like to see the world through other people's eyes, so we enjoy learning about philosophy, history, and general culture from others' perspectives.

We want all sentient beings to enjoy life and thrive. Our freedoms must not infringe upon the rights and freedoms of others.
