CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I have been made believe that I am crazy (in a good way) and funny. And yes I am. I love hearing new ideas, learning different ways of living and listening to gloomy bed time stories. And I always have anecdotes to tell, especially before sleep. Finally, I adore bachata.

PHILOSOPHY

Take it easy!

Interests

Latin dances, dancing long long nights, Linguistics, learning languages, people with original stories

• culture
• dancing
• bachata
• languages

Music, Movies, and Books

It will be a very long list I assume. I enjoy many kinds of music, depending on my mood and occasion, but I never say no to Bachata. I love Tarantino.
Books... I read lot but if I need to give a few names that would be The Picture of Dorian Gray, The Giver, Cather in the Rye, The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake, Mathilda, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well the adjective 'amazing' makes it difficult to share an experience but once I traveled from Amsterdam to Istanbul by bus+ship. Took 58 hours! Ah, I have seen my nephew delivered to my sister shortly after his birth, it was really amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I could share my knowledge on meta linguistics awareness, any applied linguistics topic and teaching languages. How language and culture interact and shape cognition is also something I could share about. I would like to discuss and learn about shamanic cultures and psychedelic experiences. Still not satisfied? Then I can teach you how to dance salsa, bachata or some other Latin dances.
