I couchsurfed with Davy Jones, stole his locker and then gave it back to him because that's the couchsurfing spirit. I can play some cuban songs for you with the guitar, I can take pictures, even won some contests during my youth. I am able to dance without drinking a sip of alcohol, weird stuff

I am an ardent practitioner of vanvanism which is the religion embraced by the followers of the legendary Cuban band Van Van

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Leading the Revolution!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you about everything in Madrid and Havana. These two cities are home.
I can show you about everything in the whole of Cuba. I'm serious about this
I can teach you what is the second most pleasant thing after sex and not a lot of people know about it so you should ask me. Hint: It is not a sin.
I can also teach you why the tail of the comets is always away from the sun and plenty of other stuff that you just know when you are a physicist.
I would teach you spanish if I believed it is a good idea to learn spanish from a cuban. But alas, it is not. I can teach you cuban if you want though. It's better than spanish. :D
