About Me

📌 If you want me to host you please send a request, not a private message. Thanks!
I try to answer all requests, but if you didn't read my profile and just sent me a copy-paste message I will not get back to you ;)

📌 Si quieres que te aloje envíame una solicitud, no un mensaje privado. ¡Gracias!
Intento contestar a todas las solicitudes, pero si no te has leído mi perfil y simplememte mandas un corta y pega no te contestaré ;)

Raised between France and Spain, I have lived in Madrid for most of my life. I have also lived in southern France, in Paris and in Luxembourg.

I am a respectful, honest and flexible person. I am eager to meet like minded people and to learn about almost everything.

Passionated about music and photography.

I've hosted at my place in Luxembourg three times and another nine so far in Madrid. I've surfed in four different countries and met many interesting and very welcoming people through CS meet ups in Asia.

I prefer to host on weekends when I have more time and I'll be happy to walk the city with you and hang out together with my friends.
I also prefer to host for two, maybe three nights, but not just for one or for more than three.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the sense of hospitality, trust and generosity of most of the people in couchsurfing.

I like to think Couchsurfing is about the community and sharing time and experiences. It is about receiving, but mostly about giving.
And definitely not an Airbnb for finding free accomodation. So if you have never hosted anyone it is more likely I won't accept your request.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Eclectic music taste (from Metal to Jazz, from The Beatles to The Supersuckers :))).

Books: Classics, travel, historical novel, contemporary Spanish, US and Japanese novel.

Movies: I cannot stop recommending "Human" and "Demain", two recent french documentaries.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teaching French language to asile seekers and refugees at the red cross in Luxembourg.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help with your French or Spanish if you are learning any of these languages.

We can also go out for a run in the Retiro or along the river

What I Can Share with Hosts

Share travel experiences and tips about Spain and Madrid, teach photography, French and Spanish practice, cooking, etc.
