* I have to put this upfront as most people do not read additional home information or profiles at all:
1. We can’t offer you a local experience or Jordanian culture. We’re foreigners living here. If that’s what you are looking for, we’re not the fit. We can offer friendly and relaxing home.
2. We are 20 km south of Aqaba towards SA. It’s beautiful complex on the beach but not convenient if you’re interested in exploring Aqaba. This is a place to explore the Red Sea and enjoy sunshine.
3. I need to know your travel plans as many travelers make them too optimistic and at the end they just skip us as there is not enough time. I understand it as a traveler but I don’t want to explain to my family that another person didn’t show up.
4. Not the best place for overnight after/before your flight as it’s on the opposite side of town. Great place for 2-3 relaxing days for beach or snorkeling (after or before your flight).

If you’re good with all this, let’s meet. :)

I am active in CS for many years. Now we host as a family of five: our 3 primary school age boys, Goran (you can find his profile on my friends list) and I. We are expatriate family living in Aqaba (Jordan) at the moment.
We are more than happy to host families with kids and offer some play time, and relaxing break for little people and their parents during their trips. Other travelers are also welcome.

I have a strong faith that we create happiness and not that we find it around the corner.

PHILOSOPHY

"Be the change you want to see in the world."

"The thing that we are not aware of is not nonexistence but existence without us."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I met some extraordinary people and the very special one, heard great stories and told some.

Interests

Life, Nature, Traveling , Dark chocolate...
We enjoy sharing a nice meal.
Traveling is our passion and don't mind taking long drives for small pleasures.
Long ago, we used to travel by motorcycle and sailing. With kids in tow, we had to adjust but boys share the same passion.
We both enjoy casual socializing at home, and good conversations.

In general, I am interested in getting smarter, more smiling and happier.
