I am an American gay guy and I have been living in Madrid on-and-off for the past 15 years. I grew up in seven different countries because my dad was in the diplomatic corp and afterwards I added another 5 countries I lived in. That is a lot of countries... perhaps a bit too many. I opened up a company in Madrid 4 years ago and I am very happy to say that it has gone very well. I know Madrid very well, as I went to high school here, so I have a good feel for the city and Spain as a whole. But besides travel and work, I also try to maintain a healthy body and mind. I have been meditating for many years and also into going to the gym. Important: I prefer requests at least 10 days prior to arrival versus last minute requests, and two night stay is my optimum visit time.
