ABOUT ME

I really prefer my References speak for me... but I have found they use to exagerate!!

So I better say I'm a rather normal guy, interested in simple things like books, music, mountains or parties, and always eager to learn about history and traditions of other countries.

The best way to please me, if you want, is to point me to any traditional/folk music from your country! My three all-times preferred music groups come from the Basque Country, from Gascogne and from Newfoundland, so, you can figure :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Interests

Folk and traditional music, popular languages, politics, religion, lots of thinks!

Music, Movies, and Books

My two favourite writers and JRR Tolkien (The Lord of the Rings, etc.) and GK Chesterton (Father Brown, etc.). I love some other English writers like CS Lewis, Wodehouse and Terry Pratchett. I love SF (Science Fiction), with authors like Asimov, Heinlein, Lois McMaster Bujold (Vorkosigan Saga), or some fantasy with authors like GRR Martin (Song of Ice and Fire). Some other authors I like a lot are Umberto Eco, Giovanni Guareschi or Neil Gaiman.
