Hi!...
We are Mayela and Andrés, a young couple making our first Eurotrip together!
We happily run one of the best hostels in the Caribbean island of the Dominican Republic and we are involved in the music scene due to Andrés is a singer and producer - We want to make this trip looking forward to expose our music in Europe, creating amazing memories and bringing back home more ideas to share with our guests and the music scene in Punta Cana. We love traveling, meeting new people, sharing stories, art, music, teaching and learning, going around discovering the little and amazing corners of the world specially when those corners are out of the most touristic spots.
We like to enjoy the simple-everyday-thing like a good coffee, a great song, a talk with a cold beer, etc., those things that seems to be pretty normal but help to make ours days more special!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like to listen and discover all kind of music but I have an special place in my heart for Latin music, Freddie Mercury and Michael Jackson!
I love to dance - a good beat is always sooo OK for cheering up the moment!

I like movies that lead you to reflect or really funny movies that lead to nothing but having lots of laugh!

About books, when I want to learn something seriously I always prefer books!... I like to buy a lot of books about different topics (business, novels, personal growth, technical knowledge, etc.)... I have to confess that I haven't read all the books I have bought, but I'm proud I have read most of them till the very end!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After 5-year-working period in an American company I got my dream job!... and a few months later I found myself so unhappy!
So I broke up with my "dream job" and move to the Caribbean....
Working on a different way of living, based on love, passion and freedom is the best and most amazing thing I've ever done!

Teach, Learn, Share

I think that Teach,Learn&Share are everyday activities, when doing so I keep my brain, heart and soul moving.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like/can share from a simple cup of coffee or a red wine bottle to knowledge about international business laws, Latin dancing, painting, philosophies about life, etc.
