ABOUT ME

We're a family of four and Victor, the newest member of our family, has joined us only recently! We've just came back to London after living in Cochabamba in Bolivia where we were working as volunteers in Proyecto Horizonte after travelling for over six months across eight countries of South America. For more information visit our blog: www.travellingfamilyadventures.com

PHILOSOPHY

'Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me!'
'Todo lo que hicieron por uno de estos hermanos mas pequenos por mi lo hicieron!'

'Don't be afraid of being nice and good hearted. If people mistake it for weakness, it's their problem.'
'No tenga miedo de ser amable y de buen corazon. Si la gente lo confunda con debilidad, es su problema.'

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Interests

Travelling of course. Travelling for a long time! That is why we decided to spend one year of our lives exploring South America! I enjoy cycling. I'm also addicted to running and I completed two marathons in 2011 and one ultra marathon in 2012. Since I started being vegetarian I've found out that I like spending time in the kitchen.

Viajando por supuesto. Viajando por mucho tiempo! Por esta razon hemos decidido a pasar un año de nuestras vidas explorando America del Sur! Me gusta andar en bicicleta. Tambien estoy adicto a correr y he completado dos maratones en 2011 y un ultra maratón en 2012. Desde que empeco a ser vegetariano, me he descubierto que me gusta pasar tiempo en la cocina.

Music, Movies, and Books

Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, Atonement by Ian McEwan. Tolkien is my classic. I also enjoyed One Hundred Years Of Solitude by Gabriel Garci­a Marquez, Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov, The World According To Garp by John Irving and Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell to name just a few.As Mateusz is 12 years old I'm almost an expert in children movies :-) so if you've seen Transformers, Golden Compass and similar films then we'll have a few things to talk about. Personally, I enjoyed Pan's Labyrinth, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, American Beauty, As Good As It Gets, Fight Club, Matrix, Memento, Leon, Amelie, Groundhog Day, Sin City, The Truman Show, The Sixth Sense, 300, Natural Born Killers, Dirty Dancing, Little Miss Sunshine, Unbreakable, 12 Monkeys, Into The Wild, Sideways, Fisher King, Seven so as you can see it's quite a wide range.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Inspired by Tom Coghill we've fasted together for 30 days on water and freshly squeezed vegetable and fruit juices - an experience which totally transformed our attitudes towards food and life!

Inspirado por Tom Coghill hemos ayunado juntos por 30 di­as con el agua y los jugos frescos de frutas y verduras - una experiencia que transformo totalmente nuestras actitudes hacia la comida y la vida!
