Description

Hello! We are Quim and Claudia, an adventurous and creative couple driven by a passion for sports, arts, and cultural exchange.

I'm Quim, and I thrive on staying active and engaging in various sports, from the thrill of rock climbing and snowboarding to the serenity of hiking and the camaraderie of team sports. Music is another cornerstone of my life; I love playing instruments, listening to diverse genres, and sharing musical experiences with others. Learning from other cultures and sharing mine in return brings me joy, as does language learning and the opportunity to explore new places. Helping communities with limited resources is a heartfelt mission for me, and I believe in the power of giving back and fostering meaningful connections.

Claudia is a talented artist passionate about painting and all forms of craftsmanship. Her creativity and love for arts bring joy and happiness to our lives. She has a deep appreciation for exotic food and gastronomy, always eager to explore new culinary experiences. Mountain hiking is one of her favorite activities, allowing her to connect with nature and find inspiration for her artistic endeavors. Additionally, she has a profound love for animals and plants, enriching our travels with her knowledge and care for the natural world.

Together, we are excited to embark on a journey of mutual learning and unforgettable experiences. We look forward to exploring new horizons, celebrating our diverse backgrounds, and making a positive impact in the communities we visit. Let's share the joy of cultural exchange, creativity, and discovery!

Update. 27/10/24
We've already been in 3 different projects around Asia.
We had the opportunity to collaborate with a non profit organization in Indonesia teaching English and building trash cans of bamboo. What a great experience.
After we spend 2 weeks in the country side of Japan building a brick path to make Yoshi's and Mitsuyo's garden beautiful, it was such a pleasure!
We spend a great time in the secret garden hostel at Cat ba, Vietnam and managed to paint a stunning wall mural for their newly renovated building.

We are still traveling and looking forward to paint some more!

More details about my language interests
Language learning and teaching are integral parts of our journey, and we are both excited to share and expand our linguistic skills. I am highly motivated to teach others languages, even though this will be my first time doing so. I believe that language exchange is a powerful tool for cultural connection and personal growth. My enthusiasm for teaching is matched by my willingness to adapt and learn alongside my students, making the experience enriching for everyone involved. Claudia has intermediate-begginer level English skills, making her well-suited to assist beginners in their language learning journey. Her patient and encouraging approach ensures that new learners feel comfortable and supported as they develop their language skills. Together: We are both passionate about learning the local languages wherever we go. Immersing ourselves in the local culture through language is a key part of our travels, as it allows us to connect more deeply with the communities we visit. We believe that mutual language learning and teaching create a bridge between cultures, fostering understanding and friendship. We look forward to engaging in language exchange, sharing our knowledge, and learning from the diverse people we meet on our adventures.
