ABOUT ME

We are a single-parent family: Yoana 16, Migueltxo 12 and me javier 57. I was living for 20 years in a small village in Navarra, but now we live in a flat in Pamplona. I like travel: Spain, Europe, Central and South America, Africa and a little bit Asia. We currently live in Pamplona in a flat with a couch in the living room and a small room avalaible. Somos una familia monoparental, que nos gusta viajar cuando podemos. disponemos de un sofá y si tienes niños igual podemos arreglarnos. Es un piso alquilado así que animales no nos está permitido.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mostly hosting in the past, and several times as guests, great experience.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Mainly hosting, all of them fantastic, till now.

Interests

I like meet people who want interact, share experiences. Spend time with local people when travelling, that can teach us the town or villages we visit. For me is important my dauhgter and son experience this way of living. Notice that we are a single parent family, it means perhaps I must refuse when I am busy with my job and taking care of children
