While I am not busy teaching/reading/writing philosophy, I will be:

1) dancing tango for hours
2) drawing and printmaking, also for hours
3) Watching good movies with the arthouse movie club I started
(https://www.meetup.com/arthouse-cinema-lovers/)
4) Deutsch üben

etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To experience the diversity of human life

Interests

Depth and playfulness, that's what I enjoy in life. This could take the shape of a charming conversation on European cinema or a danced-based imrov game or something in between.

• literature

• drawing
• geopolitics
• history
• philosophy
• cinema
• dance
• theatre
• printmaking

• world history
• strategy
• political economy

Music, Movies, and Books

Van Gogh, Fellini, Goethe, Hafez, Classical music (Beethoven, Brahms, etc. I also love anything played by Hilary Hahn. Mention her name in your message if you want to stay with me.)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

“Dude, it was amazing. It was amazing. ” really? You were amazed? You were amazed by a basket of chicken wings? Really? Amazing. What are you gonna do with the rest of your life now? What if something really happens to you? What if Jesus comes down from the sky and makes love to you all night long, and leaves the new, Living lord in your belly? What are you gonna call that? You used “amazing” on a basket of chicken wings. You’ve limited yourself verbally To a shit life."

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to get better at German. I wouldn't say no to learning new dances either.

Following recipes together could be fun.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach you some tango steps, be your philosophical advisor, or share my stories as an Uber driver in Austin. Also, one dies sinful unless they have learnt some funny curses in Farsi.
