I am a (Spanish/English/philosophy) teacher. I guess a very nice one - I don't throw chalk at my pupils or steal their sandwiches... only if I'm really hungry.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

L o v e for languages/culture/people

Interests

Speaking and listening to other languages - "die Grenzen deiner Sprachen sind die Grenzen deiner Welt" (Wittgenstein)

Travelling - walking through little towns, I've never been before.

Having good conversations that go a bit deeper - it bores me to only talk about "what did you do today".... "ah, you screwed a nail into the wall... yes, yes... very interesting" *zZZzzZ*

Being out in nature - especially near water.

Buddhism/psychology/philosophy

Dancing Salsa, taking pictures and drinking too much coffee

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sitting in the Tube, suddenly realizing that I HAD to study Spanish - and doing so!
