About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Sara: To know what to do with my life: be a better person, learn more things, be more ethical, read more...

Jordi: enjoy life, discover, have fun

ABOUT ME

Sara: This is difficult :). I like to think I'm nice (most of the time ;)), sometimes shy, sometimes easy-going. Sometimes I see the glass overflowing, others I see it completely empty (and it's the same glass! ;).

Jordi: Ok, I don't think I can write a "personal description" about myself, but as a substitute... I love games of almost any kind, I love open places and open minded people, but I prefer free software to open source ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Sara: Try to live changing a little for the better this world and trying to be happy and make happy the people I love.

Jordi: Make the world a place you would like to be in. Do some good things (and they will come back). Actually I find it hard to summarize, but you can always ask :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting when we can, and less often surfing when we can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We have hosted > 8 couchsurfers (well, one from Hospitality Club) and it has been really cool. They have been all really nice and we felt very comfortable with them.

Definitely the idea rocks!

Interests

Sara: Reading, social activism, science, ecology, walking, cinema, games (Go, old console games).

Jordi: Meeting people, playing games (chess, Go, tennis, computer games, almost anything), physics and maths, programming cute apps, reading nice books, social activism, ecology, playing guitar and piano, robotics, electronics, astronomy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sara: I loved to see San Francisco, to go to a concentration against Iraq war in Berna... More recently I loved our travels to some isolated places in Mexico and a little island in Puerto Rico... and living what I am living right now! :)

And right now, sometimes I think that what I'm living right now is just amazing (for me :)). I feel happy :)

Jordi: Meeting Sara :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Sara:I'm not a good teacher :). Also my English is not so fluent, so I may get frustrated with it :).

Jordi: I love to learn new things and teach whatever I may know and you are interested in! I'm kind of skilled in physics, maths, computer programming... and would like to learn, well, many things! New languages, electronics, magic tricks, new games...
