Overview
About Me
Hi there! 👋🏻
I’m a Spaniard based in Madrid who can’t stay still for too long. I’ve been lucky enough to call three very different places "home": Spain, the US, and Vietnam. Those experiences taught me that the best part of traveling isn't the monuments, but the people and the chaotic, unplanned moments.
Currently, I'm back in Madrid working in management (to fund the next adventure!), but my free time is dedicated to photography, finding the best tapas spots in town, and hanging out with my Border Collie.
I’m easy-going, clean, and respectful. I love deep conversations about culture over a beer or wine, but I also know when to give people their space.
Fun fact: I’m a horror movie geek, so if you want to watch something scary, I’m your guy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
After traveling solo to 15+ countries and living abroad, I realized hotels feel too lonely and impersonal. I’m here to swap stories, not just sleep in a bed. Since I’m new to the app, I’m extra motivated to be a great guest, share good vibes, and bring something positive to your home! :)

Music, Movies, and Books
Music: I have an eclectic taste. I listen to everything from Spanish Indie (like Manos Rotas) to Rock or even Reggaeton depending on the mood. Always open to discovering new artists from your country!
Movies: Huge fan of horror movies (especially A24 films like Hereditary) and classic comedies.
Books: Mostly travel memoirs, biographies, and currently trying to improve my Japanese.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I spent 3 days on an expedition in Komodo Island (Indonesia), sleeping on a boat and walking just a few meters away from the Komodo dragons. It felt like being in Jurassic Park in real life!

What I Can Share with Hosts
I can definitely cook for you! 🍳 I make a pretty solid Spanish Tortilla (let's not debate if it should have onion or not yet!) or some "Huevos Rotos". I can also help you practice Spanish or English, or share tips about living in SE Asia or the US.
Learn: I’d love to learn about your local lifestyle, hidden spots in your city that tourists miss, and maybe pick up a few words of your language.
