CURRENT MISSION

Widening our horizons, getting to know different people, cultures and languages, finding inspiration

ABOUT ME

A few years ago we were living a miserable life in London, working long hours, spending all the earnings just to maintain the professional image and having no time or energy to enjoy our life. A couple of years ago we decided to quit our jobs, became self-employed and left England for good. That's how our road eventually brought us to Tenerife. We love staying out of the rat race, drawing inspiration from the beauty around us every day, enjoying the sun, sea and mountains, being healthy living freaks and of course meeting new people. You are welcome to check out Vita's blog http://www.vitalivesfree.com to get a better idea of what we are about.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is very short, so we believe it's important to live your life in such a way that if you had to die tomorrow you would know you have done everything you could. We don't like "what ifs" in our life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We host people and occasionally meet other travelers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We are fairly new to couchsurfing but after meeting several avid couchsurfers we fell in love with the whole concept and really want to participate in this wonderful community.

Interests

Painting - tried many different mediums and love experimenting. Cooking as we are quite a gourmet couple. Traveling and learning languages. Reading good books and watching arthouse cinema. Fitness and hiking. Photography, cycling and computers (only Luca:) )

Music, Movies, and Books

We adore Spanish, Italian, German and South American movies. Our favourite movies are probably "Amores perros" and "Non ti muovere". We like reading books that are considered weird or destructive by other people. In terms of music, our favourites are U2 and Coldplay.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing and liberating thing was getting out of the rat race.

Teach, Learn, Share

We love cooking and would be glad to share our food with the rest of the world. We are also very interested in the culture, cuisine, etc. of the island we live on, so we'll also be able to share everything we know about that. We are living a completely chemical free life - we can teach anyone who is interested in that.

Countries I’ve Lived In

Italy, Lithuania, Spain, United Kingdom
