ABOUT ME

I slowly drift through life. My guitar and some philosophy books usually accompany me. Phenomenology, Existentialism, and Continental philosophy in general bounce around in my head most of the time. I think too much sometimes.

I love traveling, meeting new people and going to new places. I love reading and one of my newfound loves is couchsurfing!

I have been teaching Guitar lessons for a couple of years now, I have tutored Spanish, English, Philosophy, Political Science.

PHILOSOPHY

All kinds of random contradictory crap. Existentialist, phenomenology, Dadaist. lets all achieve dialectical hermeneutic deconstructive harmony with being-in-the-world, maybe look at the gaze of the other, perhaps try and get rid of those wheels in the head! . Although i change my mind on this quite often. DOWN WITH METANARRATIVES!

P.S. Wherever you go there you are!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have read many amazing things that changed my life, seen some beautiful art, and even more amazing places. Most amazing of all, I've been around people who refuse to be bound by anything, who have no shame in being who they are. Black Rock City in particular has been a great experience. I've lived and studied in europe, north and south america and have learned very much both from schools and the people living in these places.
