About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am renovating an old stone farm house

ABOUT ME

My parents travelled a lot, I was born in Chile, then grew up in Spain, Hong Kong, France, and Switzerland. After university, in turn I spent 25 years working in different countries (Tunisia, Croatia, Italy...). Now I am having a pause in my travels and am fixing up an old farmhouse.

PHILOSOPHY

Why worry about things you can do nothing about.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As there is a spare bedroom, I would be pleased to receive surfers (2 max)for a couple of nights.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None. I hitch-hiked a lot as a student and was sometimes invited to people's places, which was Always a nice experience. In turn, I would be happy to receive travelling guests for a short visit.

Interests

Gardening, reading, DIY work. I love travelling, but have travelled so much in the past 5 years on business trips that I have become sick of airports and security checks! Right now, I am enjoying the pleasures of a sabbatical year in the country side. I am interested in international geo-politics.

Music, Movies, and Books

I mostly read thrillers, usually 1 or 2 a week as I hate watching TV. My favourite author is John le Carre, as well as David Lodge.
