About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Married, 1 wife (1 is enough:) just kidding), 3 kids (good number!) and 2 dogs (1 sporty and 1 sleepy!).

I love meeting new people both in my private and professional life!

We always have to learn from the others : different cultures, habits, ways of life, etc.

I usually travel throughout Europe (Spain, the UK, Belgium, etc.).

In love with Southern Europe and our pretty South West France very near Spain, the Basque Country, etc.

I love running with my dog in the countryside, having a stroll with my family, playing Basque pelote, climbing, and biking with my dog too (the sporty one for sure:)!).

Also in love with one of the greatest Fiesta in the world... Viva "San Fermín"... which takes place every year from 6th July for 1 week in Pamplona... Have been going there for 14 years and hope will carry on going for more...

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem
¡Vive el día!
Seize the day!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Knowing new people and new cultures is a real chance we have to seize everyday!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Something special we share with friends every year for 14 years now... It is very similar to CouchSurfing but open space oriented... I call it "Grass surfing":) in Pamplona for the San Fermin Fiesta (Navarra, Spain) we use to go there for a weekend time and as many San Fermineros we sleep with the stars as a ceiling (most of the time the sun is shining when we sleep:))...
