I'm Marisa, a retired teacher of foreign languages in the University of Tarragona. My husband, Salvador, is a retired Industrial engineer, former project manager in petrochemical international companies. We have two married sons and three grandchildren who of course live in their own houses in Barcelona and Tarragona area. We're both fond of reading, listening to music, going to the movies, walking along the beach or the cliffs, taking day outings to villages or towns in the coast or in the mountains, traveling as much as we can... I attend courses of foreign languages, learning new languages has become a hobby for me, and also have regular literary meetings. We've been having a sailing boat since we were teenagers and we've always spent Summer holidays sailing, fishing, swimming. Unfortunately, our boat was sold three years ago, although we continue swimming all year round. We're both good at working with our hands, I do much creative work. We're both volunteers at Stella Maris World wide organisation, We belong to a speaking English corner group and we meet once a week, apart from parties and trips. We've got friends from many nationalities that you can meet during your stay in Tarragona. We've exchanged our house around 25 times in our married life, some of them outside Intervac, and we've received many foreign friends of our sons and of ours in our house. With Intervac we have already completed 15 successful exchanges with families from England, France, Denmark, Sweden, Iceland, Osterreich, Spain, ireland, Germany.
