CURRENT MISSION
Friendship is a very important concept for me so, please, do not ask me to be your friend if we don't have even met ;-) Thanks for your comprehension.

ABOUT ME
*************************************************
SORRY, OUR COUCH IS NOT AVAILABLE AT THE MOMENT...
*************************************************
If you want to visit us, think about staying 2 or 3 nights. Sorry, but we can't accept travellers just for 1 night. (Only exception made, if you are travelling by bike).
*************************************************

There are many things I like: both, to travel and to stay; to talk to people and to listen; to learn new words; to drink a good wine or a hot cup of coffee in a nice company; to sing; to dance (at the moment, lots of bachata and salsa :-); to play music -piano, diatonic accordion, recorder, dolçaina...- (poor neighbours); to read; to take care of plants and flowers; to walk without knowing where I'm going to; to play cards... Even to work, most of the days! And I hope to share some of these special things with you, if you decide to send us a message, if your ways and your wishes take you here.

PHILOSOPHY
Come and try to find out.
