ABOUT ME

We are a couple of an Aragonese guy (a region in Spain) living many years in Athens (Ricardo) and a Greek woman Anthi. Ricardo is a spanish teacher and translator and Anthi is a psychologist.
I could define myself (Ricardo) as an inquiring mind, captivated by all of aspects of human being. That's because my passion is learning in a wide range of topics. We see ourselves as easy-going persons, enjoying travelling, social gatherings and every aspect of comical things.
We are both in what's used to say "spiritual path", regardless religions or dogmas. I believe strongly in the idea "BE the change yourself", instead of fighting for the change outside. Although we are very concerned about the events in the social, cultural and environmental around. We do meditation in a daily basis and practice yoga and alternative healing methodes like reiki and soundtherapy.
We love contact with nature and to do outdoor activities like hiking, picking mushrooms and wild vegetables, riding bycicle (I've travelled a lot by bycicle), canyoning and canoe-kayak.
People who we get along well with: persons with sense of humor, people that can laugh even about theirselves, and specially really open-minded persons who keep distance from their social, religious, politic conditioning. Far from the stereotypes, labels and mainstream trends.

Somos una pareja de aragonés que vive desde hace años en Atenas (Ricardo) y una griega (Anthi). Ricardo es profesor de español y traductor y Anthi es psicóloga.
Me podría definir (Ricardo) como una mente inquieta, fascinado por todos los aspectos del ser humano. De ahí deriva mi ilusión por aprender de todo, en una amplia gama de áreas. Nos consideramos personas sencillas, a las que les encanta viajar, tertulias, el lado cómico de la vida.
Estamos en lo que se suele llamar "camino espiritual" fuera de dogmas y religiones. Creo firmemente en la idea de "SER el cambio mismo" en lugar de luchar por el cambio fuera de nosotros. No obstante, nos preocupa todo lo que tiene que ver con el entorno social, cultural o medioambiental. Practicamos meditación diariamente y terapias alternativas como reiki o terapia de sonido.
Nos encanta el contacto con la naturaleza y hacer actividades al aire libre como senderismo, coger setas y verduras silvestres, ciclismo (he viajado bastante en bici), barranquismo y canoe-kayak.
Nos llevamos bien con las personas que tienen auténtico sentido del humor, que pueden incluso reírse de sí mismas y sobre todo, personas verdaderamente abiertas, que toman distancias respecto a sus condicionamientos sociales, religiosos o políticos. Lejos de tópicos, etiquetas y las corrientes convencionales.
