I am originally from Madrid and I'm university professor here. I live in the downtown, in Lavapies, where you are welcome.
In my life I try to catch the best of people and learn about it. I like meeting people, places and cultures, and taking pictures of all of them.
Interested in science/environmental/social/political issues, which I would love to talk about if we meet. Dadaism and comedy, Cinema, Photography, Philosophy, music and fun are also very welcome in our conversations :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is a nice way to know the real side of destinations, and an opportunity of meet really nice people hosting them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To study the materia of one semester in one night, and pass the test in the next morning.
To got my PhD title in less than two years of effective work.
To teach in more than three universities at the same time in Madrid.

I addopted my parrot when he was 35 years old, and I'm getting him to recover from serious trauma.
I've visited 3 "non-existent" countries.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm trying to learn cook. Maybe you can help me.

IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT YOUR REQUEST:
I prefer to host mature people with deep conversation, sharing and talking about life, talkative and enthusiastic, willing to keep the contact in the future.

Please, remenber that this is not a free cost hostel, so...
1. Usually I don't host people only for one night.
2. I have a pet at home. Be sure you like pets.
3. I like to share conversations, walks, culture, fun and time with my guests. If you have your own plans in the city and there is no room for me in any of those plans, better go to a hostel.
4. We should chat a bit before you come, in order to know each other.

In your request, tell me that you know that my parrot's name is "Roberto" ;-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Together we can...
- visit the city together, visit special places, and enjoy day time culture and night time entertainment.
