About Me

CURRENT MISSION

finish the gosh damn novel

ABOUT ME

I am a life-long student of history, cultures and religions. I love to read, to listen, to write, to cook, to play, to walk, and many other things that do not fit here.

PHILOSOPHY

I mistrust patriots, but citiots are alright.

let's change money for smiles and borders for trees...

And also... a bit of Foucault and Derrida...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was introduced to CS by a friend while I was au-pairing back in 2009 (which apparently makes me an old school). I did hosting, organised meetings and met fine people that offered plenty of nice chats and cups of coffee.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I reactivated the account as I will be travelling soon. Freedom is calling.

Interests

If you host me I'll probably try to cook for you, aka I'll force you to let me cook ;) I'm quite adaptable and know my share of how-to from vegan lasagna to ribs and smokey pepper stew...

I particularly love cultural misunderstandings, this teach me how to see myself from outside.

My daily convo includes: "why abstract art is better than figurative"; "why Borges is not sci-fi"; "existentialism is a black hole with flowers at the bottom"; "The best place is on the other side of the window"

Music, Movies, and Books

Any sort of pretentious arty farty movie

Classy jazz, sephardic flamenco and andalousi ouds. Soft spot for punk-rock and grunch.

Histories Forgotten Doubles - past is present

(It's a million years that "Pameos y Meopas" is missing. It likes to stroll in parks, but it gets lost very easily -you know how this chronopies are. Please, let me know if you see it. I miss it dearly.)
