CURRENT MISSION

Just enjoy life!

ABOUT ME

I love nature, the ocean, the forests - as a couple we love going to the wild, although we are not too radical in sports. Good long field walks, a long day on the beach, lying under the trees... We are quite involved with ecological issues.
There is lots of music at home, as Silvana is a musician and plays and loves baroque music. Cooking is a great enjoyment, mostly exotic, spicy food.
Movies are very enjoyable, mostly art films with wine and popcorn (Silvana says my popcorn is the best in the world, but I think she is biased!)

PHILOSOPHY

No dogmas or religion. Daoism and Tchikung practice.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We had guests in Brazil. We are now living in England for a year and will open our Birmingham apartment for guests. It's lovely to have people around. It's interesting to hear from other cultures, its habits, and sharing daily simple programs. What a great way to see new places with the advice or company of natives. It's really a wonderful program!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We had, so far at least 15 guests: the 3 first ones were a young man from Colombia and 2 others from Uruguay. It was lovely.
Silvana stayed in Buenos Aires in peoples homes. Great experience!
