Ok maybe this isn’t such a crazy idea! I’m a stocker and shoot in my Amazing loft studio in central Madrid. Like all of us we get bored of our city and looking for adventure. As full time stock photographers we could just do a life swap! I’m looking to trade for maybe a month in any part or the world, looking for modern flat, fast internet, studio or workable apartment with light stands and background and a few models to work with in exchange you will get all this in Madrid! Sounds crazy but it just might work! What’s the point of being a digital nomad if we don’t do this type of thing! Hit me up if this sounds interesting.

Interesting! It's like couch-surfing for stock photography.
I'd love to spend some serious time in Madrid. Late-night tapas :)))
Spanish women are beautiful...
How does Milan sound to you?

There are several home exchange sites available where you might want to float your idea.
I did a home exchange with a couple from Istanbul for 3 months a couple years ago. Offer came out of the blue over Facebook (in response to a farewell post i made to a house sitting forum, when I realized that was not what I was after). Worked out like a charm for both of us.
I live in a penthouse in the Old Town of Cuenca, Ecuador, and would definitely be interested in such an exchange. Though I have a studio, it is not really set up for model shoots (more for product and the like), and it is actually one room I normally have locked up tight if doing a home exchange (our computers, cameras, etc are locked up in there).
We have been to Madrid, but only as a tourist stop of a few days. Would definitely be interested in staying there longer (as we did in Istanbul). Let me know if this would interest you (or others reading this, in other parts of the world -- we have visited 75 countries so far, returning from Namibia and Botswana just yesterday, with a month in India in February for Holi, and another trip planned for October to Vermont for Fall Colors).
