    Description

    I am a middle aged man living alone in the North coast of Mallorca. I write books and have a job in the city. I have grown up children and keep pretty much contact with them and my ex-wife.

    I am quiet, curious, disciplined. I like music, reading, swimming. I am almost vegetarian and try to cook healthy food. I inherited a house where I spend mythic summers in my childhood. A house in a beautiful setting, surrounded by olive grows, facing the sea and protected by a high mountain, the Teix. A house that is like an old dream come true, so a sort of nightmare. A house that needs to be listen, repair, reinvent. Even she has a happy ghost who does not want to go away. Simply, this house is my joy and my burden. And I have not enough hands for her.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    You can hike in the solitary mountain, swim in the sea, walk around the silence of the olive grows. You may relax over a rock, go time to time to the villages nearby or spend time in the city, Palma. The house and the village are regularly and easily reached by bus.

    I like to exchange point of views and share experiences, and also I like tranquillity and silence sometimes. I use to do yoga and meditation. I like to live with people who are organize, positive and sound because this helps me to find these qualities in myself.
