Music, Movies, and Books

Movies - I don't watch as many as I would like.

Music is a massive part of my life. Listening, dancing, playing, touring, promoting, teaching. Especially funk, hip hop, rock and roll, folk, punk, reggae, ska, motown, 60s pop... and everything else.

Books - I love reading. As a child I loved to disappear and lose myself in fantastic worlds.
Some of my favourite books and authors: On the Road, 1984, Illusions, Catch 22, Down and Out in Paris and London, Witgensteins Investigations, Trainspotting, 100 Year of Solitude.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Released hundreds of baby sea turtles into the ocean on the Michoacan coast in Mexico.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have been a teacher of; English(as a foreign language and also in a English secondary school), music and children with disabilities.

I would like to learn a lot of things... mainly languages, how to build a house, grow vegetables, sailing, history and geography.

Share? A friend taught me to share everything. It's difficult but I try...
