My wife Gema and myself (Alvaro) have 4 children: a boy (born on 2006) and 3 girls (2010 and 2012 the twins). Our biggest concern is bringing them up in a healthy, active and open-minded environment. We practice many sports (skating, swimming, cycling, pilates, fitkids, urban dance, parkour,...), give value to nutrition and do our best to make them happy beyond the simple concept of a material world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My wife Gema and myself enjoyed travelling and living abroad when we were younger, and now that we have kids we want to share these experiences with them, travelling abroad or meeting families with children from other countries in our own city.

Interests

• sports
• healthy food
• family

Music, Movies, and Books

All kind of music is listened in our house.
Reading is a common habit also in our family, and although there is no much time for tv, we enjoy a film from time to time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Raise 4 children and survive!

Teach, Learn, Share

We may teach spanish, and happy to share our experiences as travellers and parents :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

We are an easygoing couple with a really entertaining family, no place for boredom.
At the moment we are not accepting hosting requests (although we've already hosted some of our previous hosts), but maybe we are ready to do so in the future. However we would be glad to meet other CS families in our city in order to show them around or planning some activities.
For CS members without children maybe we are not the perfect people to hang out with right now, as we mainly aim for kids activities, but anyway please read our profile first instead of just sending messages blindfolded (which I don't think follows CS spirit).
