    Description

    I'm a young, open-minded man. I live in a very rural area of ​​the Pyrenees in Lleida, surrounded by wild, rugged, and lush landscapes at an altitude of 1130 meters! In the surrounding mountains, you'll find brown bears, ptarmigan, capercaillies, bearded vultures, reptiles, and other endangered animals. In the summer, we can go canyoning; I have the necessary ropes, and you would only need to rent your individual equipment. In the winter, I can teach you Nordic skiing; there's a Nordic ski resort 7 km from my house.

    You can also enjoy adventure sports with local companies, such as rafting, paragliding, bungee jumping, kayaking, canyoning (when I can't go with you), climbing, via ferrata, mountain biking, etc. Near where I live, you can pick mushrooms, and I can explain some basic concepts and descriptions to help you identify them. If you're planning to hitchhike or use public transport, we can discuss using my car while you're at home, provided you're over 25 (because if you're younger, my insurance won't cover you). I can also organize your trip from wherever you're coming from to minimize costs and maximize comfort and speed.

    I enjoy cooking and can teach you how to bake bread and prepare some typical Catalan and Spanish dishes (I'm not a professional). I live in a small house in the middle of the forest, within the Alt Pirineu Natural Park. The nearest village and neighbors are in Araós (35 year-round residents), which is 2.7 km away. Access is via a paved road to my house or on foot via a footpath. Snow is cleared in winter. I work as a forest ranger.

    In the house, we live as a family and, of course, we do everything together (cleaning, eating, living, etc.). You can connect to the internet and check your email at my house using my phone (data sharing), but if you need a really good connection, you'll have to go to Tírvia (5km) or Llavorsí (12km). They have Wi-Fi there. The house has electricity supplied by solar panels.
    If you have any questions, feel free to ask. If you can bring a sleeping bag and a headlamp, that would be great. The place where I live has the basic necessities: a sink, a solar shower, and a regular shower. The sleeping area is communal, with a single bed for each person. There's also an old caravan. At home, we have 2 dogs, 1 cat, 20 chickens and rooster.
    If you are: open-minded, fun-loving, always smiling, cheerful, and full of energy... if you like: traditional, homemade food, live music, the mountains, nature, the countryside, small towns, animals, and tranquility... this could be the place for you.

    If you are: arrogant, lazy, closed-minded, have a teenage mentality, are boring, a city person, a TikToker, Instagrammer, YouTuber, addicted to your phone, feel superior, a religious extremist, or a fascist... I'm sorry, but I find some of these situations difficult to handle, and they usually end in a bad experience and a negative review on my profile. If you like: the hustle and bustle of cities, not recycling, McDonald's "food," or if you have to tell your parents every day that you're okay... you'd better look elsewhere. If you're interested in building a dry stone wall, I'd be happy to teach you, but I need you to stay at my place for a month so you can learn properly.

    My good friend, the donkey, is no longer with me; he's passed away!
    If you decide to come, it's best if we communicate via WhatsApp.
    If you want to go hiking in the mountains, remember to bring a sleeping bag, a sleeping mat, a headlamp or USB-rechargeable light, and if you plan to spend two or more nights in the mountains, bring your camping stove and cooking utensils.
    P.S.: The negative feedback was from a girl in Israel who wasn't comfortable using the toilet outdoors and hid in the woods to relieve herself.
    I'm a member of an association that promotes helping others. Feel free to ask any questions! If you're finally coming, you'll need to arrive by bus, train, or carpool to (in order from closest to farthest) Llavorsí, Sort, La Pobla de Segur, or Tremp, and I'll pick you up in Llavorsí or Sort.

    I'm not as active as before; I still have lingering COVID. Good vibes only, please! :)))) Cheers!
    Thanks a lot, cheers!

    Soy un hombre de mentalidad joven y abierta. Vivo en un lugar muy rural del Pirineo de Lleida, con sitios salvajes, agrestes y exuberantes a 1130 metros de altitud !. En las montañas de alrededor tenemos el oso pardo, la perdiz nival, urogallo, quebrantahuesos, reptiles y otros animales en peligro de extinción,. En verano podemos hacer barranquismo, tengo las cuerdas necesarias para hacer barranquismo y sólo tendríais que alquilar el material individual. En invierno yo te puedo enseñar a esquiar esquí nórdico, tenemos una estación de esquí nórdico a 7km. casa.

    Tambien puedes hacer deportes de aventura en empresas de la zona, como rafting, parapente, poenting, kayak, canyoning (cuando no pueda ir contigo), escalada, ferrata, mtb, etc...
    Cerca de donde yo vivo se puede coger setas, y explicaros algunos conceptos básicos y descripciones para saber diferenciarlas. Si vas a ir en autostop o en transporte publico, podemos hablar de usar mi coche, mientras estes en casa, si eres Mayor de 25 años (porque si eres menor el seguro no me cubre). Tambien os puedo organizar el viaje desde donde vengais para que el gasto sea el menor possible y la mayor comodidad y rapidez.
    Me gusta cocinar y os puedo enseñar a hacer pan y cocinar algunos de los platos típicos de Catalunya y parte de España (Yo no soy un profesional). Vivo en una casita en medio del bosque, y dentro del Parc Natural de l 'Alt Pirineu. El pueblo y los vecinos más cercano estan en Araós (35 personas que viven todo el año), el pueblo se encuentra a 2,7 km. El acceso es por carretera asfaltada hasta mi casa o a pie por un sendero y en el invierno se retira la nieve con un quitanieves. Trabajo de guarda forestal.
    En la casa vivimos como una familia y, por supuesto, hacemos todo en comunidad (limpiar, comer vivir...) sobre Internet se puede conectar y comprobar el correo en mi casa con mi telefono (compartir datos) pero si necesitas una muy buena conexión que tiene que ir en tírvia (5km) o Llavorsí (12km.) Alli tienen wifi. En casa hay electricidad que la suministran los paneles solares.
    Si teneis preguntas hacerlas sin ningun tipo de compromiso, si podeis cojer un saco de dormir y una Luz frontal mejor. El sitio donde vivo tiene las condiciones básicas para vivir, un lavabo, ducha solar y ducha normal, el sitio para dormir es comunitario con cama individual para cada persona, tambien hay una vieja caravana.
    En casa vivimos 2 perros, 1 gato, 20 gallinas y gallo.
    Si eres: de mente abierta, divertid@, con una sonrisa, alegre, con buena energia......si té gusta: la comida tradicional y casera, la musica en directo, la montaña, la naturaleza, el campo, los pueblos, los animales, la tranquilidad..... Aquí podria ser tu sitio.
    Si eres: arrogante, vag@, cerrad@, mentalidad de adolescente, aburrid@, de ciudad, tiktoker, instagramer, youtuber, adicto al mòbil, superior, extremista religios@, fascista .....perdon pero para mi no es facil de gestionar alguna de estas situaciones y normalmente acaban en una mala experiencia y referencia negativa en mi perfil.... Si té gusta: el ajetreo de las ciudades, no reciclar, la "comida" de Mcdonald's o si todos los dias tienes de decirle a los papis que estàs bien .....mejor mires otro lugar.
    Si estas interesad@ en hacer muro de piedra Seca, te puedo enseñar con mucho gusto, pero necesito que estes un mes en casa para que aprendas bien.
    Mi buen amigo, el burro , ya no esta conmigo, se fue a otra vida!
    Si finalmente té decides por venir mejor nos comunicamos via whatsapp.
    Si quieres ir a caminar por el monte, recuerda a llevar saco de dormir, colchoneta aislante , frontal o Luz que se pueda cargar con usb, y si quieres dormir 2 o mas noches en la montaña llevate el hornillo campinggas y los utensilios para cocinar.
    Pd: la referencia negativa fue de una Chica de Israel que no estava comoda yendo al lavabo al aire libre y se Escondia en el bosque para hacer sus necesidades.
    Soy miembro de una asociacion donde esta reflejado que se puede ayudar a otra persona.
    Cualquier duda preguntar sin verguenza!
    Si finalmente vas a venir teneis que llegar en bus, tren o coche compartido a (ordenado de mas cerca a mas lejos) Llavorsi, Sort, la Pobla de Segur o Tremp y en Llavorsi o Sort te recojo.
    No soy tan activo como antes tengo el covid persistente
    Bueeen rolliiitooo por favor :))))
    Saluuuut
    Muchaaas gracias, saluuut!
