About Me

CURRENT MISSION

listen to Being

ABOUT ME

easy-going, quiet, and I guess I can be funny at times. I'm not fussy about anything, basically, I get angry very rarely, and I express it even less.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't have a personal philosophy, I'd like to think of myself, rather, as a philosophical person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been hearing about this site for years now, finally got an account and started looking for places to go. I can't host anyone at the moment, but hopefully I will be able to in the summer.

Interests

symphonic music, auteur cinema, literature, listening and stopping to think.

  • literature
  • movies
  • music

Music, Movies, and Books

music: mahler, bruckner, scriabin, rachmaninoff, r. strauss, tchaikovsky, kabelac..also post-rock and radiohead.

film: everything from pasolini to kubrick to bergman to reygadas, godard, greenaway, tarantino, nuri bilge ceylan, tsai ming-liang, takashi miike and so on and so forth.

books: I try to read novels but I mostly read philosophy-anything related to the history of philosophy, I prefer continental thinkers to analytic/anglosaxon ones. too many to count probably.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I swam in south africa where two oceans meet =)
