Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I just moved to Berlin, as I am applying for universities here, currently looking for a WG (an apartment) but in the meantime I have no place to stay so I decided to couch surf while I get a proper apartment.

Música, películas y libros

Music: Spanning from 70s and 60s music, Beatle fan, Bowie lover, love practically any type of african music (afro beat ,ex. Fela Kuti), disco, funk and currently in a jazz phase. I really like music from the the first half of the 20th century such as Debussy and Satie, but I like to hear Bach or Beethoven from time to time.

Films: 'Being There' (favourite film) but I tend to have periods where I get obsessed with a specific director, my favourites are: Almodovar, Kubrick, Hitchcock, Fassbinder, Herzog, and Haneke.

Literature: 'How music works' - David Byrne, 'Instrumental' -James Rhodes, Short stories by Fiodor Dostoievsky, Chejov, Edgar Allan Poe. 'Bestiario' -Julio Cortázar, 'Cien años de Soledad' -Gabriel García Márquez, 'Historias de Cronopios y de famas' -Julio Cortázar.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I'm currently giving Spanish, Portuguese a English lessons, I can show you how to play some guitar: scales, chords, and a few songs.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I can wash your dishes, clean your house, cook (although my menu is not that wide), share some stories about my trips, keen on talking about literature, films, music, existentialism, philosophy and politics.

I have a hard drive filled with lots of films and music, which are often "exotic", and I can share with you.
