About Me

CURRENT MISSION

World wide visitor. Life's too short. World's very big!

ABOUT ME

As I decided to make a profile for the two of us, I think that I need to talk about our things in common: mainly we love travelling (easy to guess why we are here) :)

Beside this we are relaxed, sorted, down to earth guys. Of course we can also be the opposite, but that face rarely arise 😜. We love meeting new people that enriches our lives... and we hope for them the same.

In our headboard of bed we recently wrote: all you need is LOVE. We firmly believe that love is why we are here <3

PHILOSOPHY

Partially said above. Live and let live. Love is all you need. What else?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We like to share our home to travellers, tourists o whatever definition of people that love visiting other places, meeting new people, making their horizons wider.

We have a guests room with a comfortable sofa-bed and lots of interest in knowing new people.

We would like to find people like us in other cities, regions and countries. From hosting to giving directions any type of contact is welcome!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Positive. No hesitation. I'd like to say that hosting "strangers" at home might be mandatory for everyone. Well, at least would be recommendable for lots of people.

Interests

Art. Music (almost any type but mostly pop and electronic) Hiking. Yoga. Basically that, and some other things that you would discover.
