A real local,
not a travel blog

"I remember landing in Madrid with no idea where anything was. I want to save you that confusion."

I've been living in Madrid for over five years — long enough to know which neighbourhoods are actually walkable to your university, which government offices won't make you queue for three hours, and where students genuinely hang out (not the tourist spots).

I work with Erasmus students one-on-one to make sure you arrive confident, settled quickly, and spend your semester actually enjoying Madrid — not wrestling with Spanish bureaucracy or expensive tourist traps.

to land well in Madrid

From before you fly to months into your Erasmus — I've got you covered at every stage.

Housing & Neighbourhoods

Know exactly where to look for flats, which barrios suit your budget and lifestyle, and how to avoid scam listings. I'll review your lease before you sign.
