CURRENT MISSION

Don´t be afraid to take on new challenges.

ABOUT ME

We are a young couple and we concider ourselves as simple and friendly people. We don´t have Facebook, we don´t eat meat and we love each other because we find ourselves quite similar despite the fact that Carlos is an informatician and Vaida is a sociologist or the fact that Vaida is Lithuanian and Carlos is Peruvian.

Vaida: I am Lithuanian(23) who's living in Spain since October of 2011. I was always interested in Latin America's culture and lifestyle and I'm happy that my destiny has sent me Carlos - probably the best Peruvian guy ever! I've finished my studies of sociology and dedicaded a year for a voluntary service in an inmigration area(Spain) and I'm proud of it! Not eating meat for two years now and enjoying a balance with a nature.

Carlos: I am Peruvian(27) who has been raised in different cultures and socienties so I concider myself as a citizen of the world.I've lived in Peru, Switzerland, Italy, France and the last 11 years I'm living in Spain. All these experiences made me a person I'm now.

PHILOSOPHY
