  • Description

    Hello! I am Josep from Barcelona (Spain), I am 54 years old and I decided to stop working a year ago to enjoy life. I am married and have two older children.
    I am currently studying at the official language school trying to improve my English with the idea of traveling around the world when my wife retires.

    I am a computer science engineer and I love nature and walking, especially on the beach and multi-day excursions through the mountains, last year I did the Camino de Santiago(Saint James way) from France to Santiago Compostela (Spain), 900Km and 32 days hiking.

    I love animals especially dogs.

    I like to play paddle tennis, basketball, swimming and since I was little I fell in love with chess.

    I'm beginner hatha yoga.

    I would like to live in a native family which can help me correct my mistakes.

    I like to cook for my family and at special events like birthdays where many people get together.
    Since I was a child I have taken care of dogs, although I love all animals.
    Although I do not have experience, I do like to help with issues related to the garden, the orchard, farm, etc...
    I painted my house on several occasions.
    I could teach Spanish and Catalan.
    Teach to play chess.
    I love playing with children, I have 3 little nieces of 3, 4 and 7 years old with whom I spend a lot of time.
    I like to learn new things and help as much as I can.
    Obviously, due to my training and experience, I can help in a generic way with computer science issues, but I prefer to help in other areas.
