Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Please note that I am currently not accepting guests.
My current mission objective is to meet people from all over the world.
ABOUT ME
I love sharing things with other people.
A part of my family is from Argentina and Italia.
I host people from all over the world to try making easier the communication between people from all over the world and trying helping everyone who is interested in discovering new cultures. Even my grandmother hosted foreigners who needed a place to stay for some days, when she was young. This philosophy is deeply rooted into the family of my father for at least 100 years into my family. My philosophy is : If you accept a roof for some nights, then also accept the guy into the house with you all the time you will be visiting the city :)
If you just see couchsurfing as a way to save money, I mean you don't want either to talk too much, nor sharing anything or you are about to contact me to host you just for one night arriving late and leaving at about noon so you are clearly confusing my place with a free hostal and then don't contact me, please. This way it is not possible to discover the personnality of my host except knowing the way he is sleeping (this is not relevant for me :-) ).
And another thing : please arrive at the time you said, it's ok to say you will arrive at 9 in the morning and finally arrive at 10 a.m or even noon but it's not ok to finally arrive at 10 in the evening as I prepared my house and even get up early to receive you in good conditions.
Contact me if you want to spend 48 hours with me making you discovering Madrid !!!!
PHILOSOPHY
" Acuna Matata " :-) I am sincere, honest and have a big heart. "Surfing isn't just be about a place to sleep. It's about exchange", like say couchsurfing website... So If you are not looking for a sincere and real friendship but just want to enjoy free nights please don t write me.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I hosted some people, 90% of them very interesting when I was living in Sevilla and Bordeaux and now on in Madrid. I met lots of fascinating people : an american girl who worked by internet with a remoted working system thanks to her laptop and webcam, a boy whose father is a famous magician, 2 girls from sweden who make me taste fish toasts, 2 persons from Iran who made me discover the persian culture, an english teacher who was on the road to middle east to learn english to local children. Now, I live in Alcobendas, a small town near Madrid and I am looking to continue this experience with interesting people who would like us to be together in Madrid !! I will show you the best places I know here in Madrid to have a good spanish chocolate , to eat tapas... I can also show you some little secrets of the Parque del Retiro to wich foreigners don't pay attention.
Interests
Religious music, cinema, meeting people, travels, swimming... When I was a child, I received a catholic education where most of the people whas sharing a lots of things with each other. I want to do it again !!
