Sobre Mim
I am a painter and author, teaching in Scotland (Edinburgh, Isle of Skye) and Europe. I like to engage in discussion and debate on a variety of fields: philosophy, aesthetics, culture theory, art and cinema. I have a passion for literature, especially French and German, and for art in all countries. Painters who inspire me in my work include Kiefer, Klee, Bacon, Arikha, Ernst, Tapies and Barceló.
Por que estou no Couchsurfing?
I am trying to make contacts with people in these countries (in order of importance/preference): Czech Rep., Spain, Italy. I hope to have some new experiences teaching in Prague in the months ahead, so I am looking for potential couches, sofabeds, or simply sleeping bag! and hoping to meet new faces.

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz
Managed to walk home from maternity hospital after my daughter's birth without lifting off from terra firma. But inside my breast I was flying!
Ensine, Aprenda, Compartilhe
I have much experience of touring museums and galleries with my students. My knowledge of art, film, writing etc. is something I impart to visitors and friends alike. I love to share a meal, or a walk in the highlands, or a film in an intimate cinema, or a concert or play in the theatre.
O Que Posso Compartilhar com Anfitriões
My extensive knowledge of how good a Scottish diet can be!
My city, Edinburgh. My other, my beloved city of Glasgow too. the highlands of Scotland, where I offer tours with my English language business.
The coastal regions near Edinburgh: rich and diverse, and within reach of public transport: a different destination every day!
