CURRENT MISSION

Recently moved to Ireland and are now exploring this beautiful island!

ABOUT ME

We like to travel, to know other places and people, from wherever...
...to participate in life in the places we visit: if possible going to music festivals, markets, flea markets, cultural places, cultural events, try only local food and drink, understand what people do to have fun.
...specially to know a bit about cinematography, literature and music from a country we visit.
...to share travelling experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
