About Me

We are travel lovers. Friendly. Opened. Joyful. Creative. Clean. Respectful. Nice. Committed to environmental sustainability and politics. We feel attracted to cultural diversity and arts as tools for social change. And when we can not travel, we love to receive people from different places in our house.
Essential requirement: Good vibes!
IMPORTANT: we do not provide sheets, pillows, towels or food. So bring what you need. We also appreciate not to leave waste in our rubbish and to be kind to make recycling yourselves.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We have extensively traveled around Africa, Europe and also Latin America, and have always had good experiences staying at local people's homes. We believe it is not only a good mode of saving money, but a cool way to get to know new people beyond the coldness of a simple hotel/apartment (that establishes a commercial/non-human relationship).

Music, Movies, and Books

Black Music (Soul, Funk, Reggae...), and retro sounds from the sixties and seventies. Sometimes, silence and relaxing instrumental music is our best company. We have a Spanish guitar at home. Gemma sings.

We love to go to the cinema on the spectator's day, and we always go to non-commercial movie theaters. Sebas is a cinema-buff, and have Netflix and Filmin accounts to watch movies at home.

We have plenty of books, but We mostly read about Africa. So, if you're planning to read something new out of our private library , you've been warned! ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We decided to settle in Madrid after years of traveling around Africa and without a settled home. That's a big step for us. And we love it! :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can let you use a bed in our study, and of course, you can use our kitchen, bathroom and wifi. We usually do not have much time to spend with our guests, but always like to share experiences during dinners.
IMPORTANT: we do not provide sheets, pillows, towels or food. So bring what you need.
