To live, love and explore! / Vivir, amar y explorar!

ABOUT ME

We're both passionate educators who love what we do. We love enjoying friends and family. And food! We're curious and like to meet, eat, smell and explore when we travel. We've been together for 10 years and running!

Que cada cual sea quien y lo que quiera, mientras no le haga mal a nadie!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We joined CS 6 years ago and had wonderful experiences in Spain, Portugal and Australia. We had the chance to host just once in Buenos Aires and we really enjoyed it. However, our daily schedules make it very difficult for us to try to host.
Nos unimos a couchsurfing hace 6 años y hemos tenido experiencias excelentes en España, Portugal y Australia. Pudimos recibir a un couchsurfer sólo una vez en Buenos Aires y nos encantó! Pero por cuestiones de horarios y espacio nos es muy difícil!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We surfed at Fernando's house in Porto and went to a great CS dinner! Then there were Adrian in Coimbra and Teresa in Lisbon! In Spain we surfed at Cato and Vicky's and at Nieves'. In Australia, there were Ross, awesome Sarah & Juan in Melbourne, and Alice & Jack in Hobart. All wonderful experiences!!!!
Varias, todas buenísimas!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Been (are!) in love.To quote Teresa, survived "that" childhood. (Cecilia speaking in this one!) And to quote Ben, been treated like friends by strangers. Most thrilling experience: skydived in Wanaka, New Zealand!!! Went paragliding at Merlo, San Luis. Watched the sun rise from the top of a pyramid at Tikal, Guatemala. Drank mate all over the world!! Spent the night in the Sahara desert!
Estar enamorados. :) Sobrevivir mi infancia! (Cecilia) Ser tratados como amigos por gente en todo el mundo! Tomar mate por todo el mundo. Hacer parapente y skydiving. Pasar una noche en el Sahara.

Teach, Learn, Share

Share: Singing!! (Cecilia loves singing and has a ridiculously good memory for song lyrics!) Spanish & English. Football, playing, cheering, anything involving football. And many anecdotes and stories!
Teach: How to make & drink mate! How to make a good barbecue! The coolest card game in the history of card games: the great Dalmuti!!! A little bit of mythology, but very little. (In fact, if you can teach us more, awesome!)
Learn: Anything and everything!
Cantar, conversar, fútbol, tomar mate... lo que sea!
