Hi there, this is Alvaro. I am Spanish by born (in 1986 btw) and World citizen adquired by the years... I am working right now in Madrid, my beloved city, as a kind of strategist in a Foundation, but do not know where I will be in the future. I like to travel, my best thing to do if I have the chance, meet people, cooking, languages, cinema, books, sports, mountains, wine... I am very active and always looking for new things to do. If you are passing by Madrid and want to share a bit of your time and someone to chat with for a while, you are more than welcome. I am living with another spanish guy and an american lady. All the best!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The question is why not before... When traveling I preffer to spend time with other people instead of going to a cold hotel... And if you can share time with a local, that can show you the city and give you advices on what and when to visit.... what else can you ask for?

Music, Movies, and Books

In terms of music I do not have preferences, but love Mumford and Sons, Michael Buble (yes, I have to admit), and any kind of indie or folk music.
In movies, any good film deserves the time and the money, and if shared with popcorns, what a plan. My fauvorites could be Long Walk to Freedom, Schindler List, The Full Monty; and the last I loved were Spothlight and The Danish Girl.
In terms of books, I love books about trips, other locations and whatever with ritm, that traps you. No preferences in authors.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living one year in South Africa, and having the time to travel all the south of the African Continent. I would do it a million of times.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My time, my knowledge of Madrid and good vibrations and company. Also, if its lucky I could prepare a good spanish dish acompanied by better wine.
