I like meeting people who enjoy decent conversation or have something in their lives about which they're passionate ... or else those who are simply nice. I Iove the process of learning and am curious about most things.

Writing is my passion in life, I guess (... I didn't have talent as a novelist, so the way things have worked out it's now philosophy. :) )

I've spent much time travelling via the HelpX work exchange site. I met some great people and made enduring friendships through it. I'd now like to try out some couchsurfing...

(My response rate is rather low at the time of writing - I'm not sure why. I don't usually response to personalized one sentence requests before and during the Reading Festival, which might explain some of this.

Música, películas y libros

More alternative tastes: Velvet Underground, Joy Division, Bjork, The Doors, Bob Dylan, hill country blues.
I also like classical: Schubert and Mahler lieder, German opera, Schlusnus, Ferrier, Janowitz ...

Films by: Herzog, Bergman, Woody Allen, Ken Russell, Kieślowski, my favourites are Pasolini and Tarkovsky.

Books: Pretty much philosophy for a couple of years (Husserl, Merleau-Ponty, Quine ). I'm currently writing a (woefully overdue) paper. I don't have time to read many novels, unfortunately. I like W H Auden, Wallace Stevens, Rilke

Enseña, aprende, comparte

Help with the English Language, if you'd like - tips, pronunciation etc. ...

I like to play chess. I'm always happy to teach a song or two on the guitar (...if I haven't forgotten them).
