ABOUT ME

We are a nice and easygoing southamerican couple. We've been living in Madrid for the last years and we love it. Laura is a PhD student in sociology and Pablo works for a private company. We love traveling and enjoy meeting people from all over the world. There is also a third person in this profile. You'll meet him if you have the chance to come and see us in Madrid. I'm talking about Misho, our black cat. He's great, very warm and loving and is actually the one who is giving up his bed when someone comes over.

PHILOSOPHY

"Es chévere ser grande pero es más grande ser chévere" (Hector Lavoe)....
"It is cool to be great, but is greater to be cool" (I guess you miss a lot with this translation)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Our first couchsurfing experience was in India. We discovered that this is the best way to approach new places and know new people. It help us a lot and changed our way of travelling. So we are happy to help others to get the best of our place.
