My name is Alberto. I grew up a in small city in northern Spain but I live in Madrid.

I love travelling and living abroad. I have studied Business & Economics in Spain, Canada, United States and Sweden. The best part of it is meeting new and different people.

Currently I am working as the editor of a small financial magazine and studying my PhD part-time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people! I think that the best way to capture the essence of the places we visit is mingling with the local people.
