My name is Alex (you can call me al!), I'm an English teacher living in Madrid, when I can find a flat!

I come from Sheffield in the north of England, I used to work at a brewery before deciding to spend some time abroad.

I've lived in Madrid for just over a month, it's a great city full of awesome friendly people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It seems like a great way to meet really interesting people and hang out with like minded folk.

Also, there is a bit of a housing crisis in Madrid and I left it to the last minute to find a hostel, so I'm in a bit of a jam!

I'd love to return the favour to someone down the line!

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite type of music tends to be your kind of 'indie rock' which is fairly generic, but I'm a fan of bands like The Strokes, Coral, Stone Roses, Arctic Monkeys.

Also a bit of a lover of old school/UK hip-hop and what ever else takes my fancy.
