    Description

    I am a retired teacher, I am 64 years old and I am a very familiar person with many years of tradition in sharing my house with people from all over the world.
    For more than thirty years, I have participated in the International Festival of choral singing in Central Catalonia, held every year in our locality (hosting for a week Festival participants). I also receive guests from 2014.
    I have also had the opportunity to travel, meet and enjoy customs from other parts of the world. And now, my family home of the early nineteenth century, gives me the opportunity to make known my culture, traditions and gastronomy.
    I am interested in knowing and sharing experiences with people from all over the world. It will be a pleasure to welcome you in my house, and show you my culture and environment.
