About Me

ABOUT ME

I like to travel, everything from little trips till real journey. That is the reason why I'm here.
In my everyday-life I work as architect, I have three kids, boys of 21 and 17 and girl of 10. I'm married,
I like listening music, I like books, films.
On my travels I like to walk around, watching the city, the houses...I'm not a party-type of person, I prefer talking, small companies, I found that you have better communication in small groups. I like to explore, and learn about things that I can see around.
I have full time job, and also obligations in my family, so I don't have much time during the week, but I have free weekends, and I love to use that time in the best possible way, usually somewhere out with my family.
We all like to be in the country side, but also we like cinema, teather, libraries,
In the afternoons during the week we are often with other kids and friends

ABOUT MY HUSBAND TONI:
we share this profil so you should know that he is social worker and jurnalist, he likes to eat a lot, and he makes great jokes. Same as I he likes mountain hiking, reading, sea, traveling, playing with our kids. But also he like sports, wathing and playing, (I don't). I find him very nice, kindly, smart and funny!

PHILOSOPHY

About hosting:
With new people around you some old things and places are looking like new and interesting, it reminds me on the first time when I saw that and it is the reason why I like showing around to somebody new

I really like simple things like sunny afternoons by the seaside, dinner with my parents when I visit them, playing with kids, reading books while I bath, drinking coffee with best friends.
That is enough for me to feel very happy...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have flat with one room that can be used for guests and specially, I can offer place for couch surfers with families, because I know that it is a little bit harder to find couch if you have kids

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

often some people sleep at our place, and usually they stay few days more than they sad to, because they enjoy here. I'm feeling proud when I can show something nice and mostly unknown to most of the travelers.

MY MEETINGS:
I organised a few hiking weekends.
