I was born in the crack of dawn of August 16, 1993 in Madrid. At the age of 15, I was fascinated by my father’s peculiar family photo albums, which led me do get my first reflex camera and to create my own albums. After finishing high school, I decided to study Philosophy at the Complutense University of Madrid and Artistic Photography at Escuela de Arte nº10.
As far as I am concerned, photography represents a struggle with reality, and in that confrontation I question myself and our limitations. As Léolo, I find my shelter in dreams and poetry in what goes beyond reality, truth and words.
I like music (particularly jazz), walking, nature, reading, quiet places, turtles and sharks...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling and seeing new places, but mostly what I like about the places I visit is people who lives there. Unfortunately I can't afford to travel as much as I would like to.
