Description
Hello, I’m from Valencia, and now I'm living in Olocau (Valencia) in the natural Parc of Serra Cazlderona, but in the holiday, in the summer I usually spend August in the beautiful village of Colònia de Sant Pere, in Majorca. I´m 52 years old. I’m teacher of Catalan language and literature in a high school. I love theatre, cinema, the Mediterranean music, photography, and literature. I also believe that I am a very curious person.
I’m interested in Mediterranean music and culture, Jewish, Greek, Italian, etc., but too in another cultures around the word. I love to cook, specially traditional Mediterranean cuisine. I'm almost vegetarian, but eat fish and sometimes meat.
Hopefully so do you! I love to do laugh people!! Also love to walk in the mountain, for not thinking, only see and smell the aromatic plants.
I have only internet acces in Valencia. In Mallorca there is a special free wifi in the square of the village.

I had a great time in Valencia, more specific in Olocau around the mountains and nature.
Oscar and I shared so many good conversation about so many different things. I recommend to go there to have a great time or particularly if anyone wants a time off. I wish Oscar the best in the future.

Despite he was very busy with his work at school and all duties concerned by moving to the new house, he was always attentive. Picking me at the airport and bringing me again when I was leaving.
