About Me

Easy going, laid back, decent cook and quite sociable. I enjoy showing people around our city but know when to step back and let people do their own thing... I kind of like the same when I visit, so don't feel any obligation to do stuff with me... I will be eternally grateful whichever way things go!!! So... let me know if I can stay when travelling in your area and I'll make you some nice Majorcan food... And if you come visit me I'll do the same!!

I live with our cats Wifi, Selva and Perla, our dog Lara and my fiancée Oscar.

PHILOSOPHY

Tired of the rat race. I have had successful businesses and have decided to shut them down and go back to the roots... Live life and enjoy things... Work just enough to live and not the other way round. Seriously burned out and totally disenchanted with the whole system in Spain and have become a bit rebellious in that sense LOL

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can host and sometimes like to surf...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have used couchsurfing with my ex several times during a road trip from Mallorca to Barcelona, through all of the south of France, then to Genova and back to Mallorca... It was a great experience that I would love to repeat.

I accept far more guests than I actually surf myself and have met some really, really great people along the way.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Thirty seconds to mars, Autoheart, IAMX, Maria del Mar Bonet, Abba, Sepultura, Bach, Rozalen, Imogen Heap, Skunk Anansie, Bowie, Temper Trap, Robert Palmer, Brian Eno, Amanda Palmer, Dresden Dolls... Endless list. Can't stand Reggaeton/Trap... Don't like comercial House.

Books: Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Forensic mysteries.

Films: More popcorn eater than thinker at the movies... I like to watch films that are enjoyable and fun and a distraction. So not really into highly complicated and intellectual films on a regular basis, even though I do like them... Life is too short!!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The waterfalls at Iguazú were quite breath-taking.

Other achievements are mainly work related and really irrelevant in my current lifestyle and philosophy... So...

In the process of jettisoning all my old work and life habits and turning into a better person... I think that is quite an amazing thing LOL

Teach, Learn, Share

I used to teach Spanish, English and communication skills... So that is always an option.

Other things I can offer to teach: Crochet, Reiki, Aromatherapy, Massage, Bach Flowers, Cookery (Mediterranean, Spanish, Mallorcan, Desserts...)

Other stuff I can do: Acupuncture, boat crewing, cleaning, cooking for groups, I am good at selling things...

Things I always enjoy perfecting: Cooking, singing, knowledge in general.
