I'm one of those old-fashioned guys yearning to believe that life is a metaphor for something else that you have to uncloak.

Je suis l'un de ces mecs ringards qui ont envie de croire que la vie est une métaphore de quelque chose d'autre qu'il faut dévoiler.

Soy de esos tipos anticuados que ansí­an creer que la vida es una metáfora de otra cosa que hay que desvelar.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

Because it's easier than studying anthropology.

Interessen

Academically speaking, I focus on South Asian and Buddhist Studies, but I have written about many other topics. For instance, Logic, Christianity, Greek and Egyptian mythologies, Spanish and international rock music, Aesthetics, the Middle Ages, intercultural dialogue or tourist guides. And fiction!

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Having been hosted by many kind-hearted people to whom I remain grateful (if you're reading this, thank you!). Also, having hosted some travellers who gave me a glimpse of their worlds.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I'd be glad to teach hosts and guests Spanish, French, Philosophy, a little bit of music or how to be happy.

In more practical terms, I'd be glad to share some (austere) travel advice.

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

Eyes for he who can see.

(My former flatmate, and lifelong friend, Luis Blanes keeps the other half of the references from the travellers we both hosted in Sevilla: https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/luis.blanes/references)
