Write a few words about you and your travel plans, tell me why do you want to come and stay in my house, and please DO READ info about the house first ;)

When I'm guest I try to be punctual, clean, friendly, useful and not annoying.

When I'm host I try to be considerate and hospitable. And actually even in this case I try to be punctual, clean, friendly, useful and not annoying. The same about my wife Claudia, who is always with me.
