We are a family of four trying to enjoy live as it comes.
Now it´s not our time to travel and we want to let the world come to us with the experiences that the workawayers bring us.
We have 2 children, Pablo 14 and Violeta 9 years old, and we both work out of home.
We also have one cat, please note it for allergies.
Juan is Computer technician and I am a teacher for Profesional Training (renewable energy and electricity).
We live in the country at about 5km of the sea.
Our house lies directly on the Camino de Santiago, so you can meet a lot of pilgrims from all around the world.
Cantabria is a quiet place between mountains and sea. It´s really a place to know.
