About Me

I spend summers in Spain in the small Catalan town of Rápita. It's hard to get to but lovely and lots to do in nature in the Ebro Delta and nearby medieval town of Tortosa.

Music, Movies, and Books

Just read Songlines by Bruce Chatwin. Were we born to roam? A fan of Graham Greene's Ways of Escape about his writing and travels, because I love Greene. Murakami, Paul Theroux, Bruce Chatwin.. Music.. New Arcade Fire "Everything Now" , LCD SoundSystem, Band of Horses, The National, electronic, (Jai Wolfe) indie bands etc.. Introduce me to some indie bands from your home country plz...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Signed a 3-album record deal with a record label (but sadly only finished one album before the band disintegrated.. alas)

Teach, Learn, Share

I think folks will be inspired by my sense of adventure.. my willingness to take chances in new directions. I have lots of enthusiasm for following my passions, even if they seem risky ventures, and I think that can rub off on people.

What I Can Share with Hosts

The outdoor sports in the Ebro Delta are amazing. Hiking, cycling, bird watching, paddling, etc. Lots of beautiful beaches. Great cafe culture. I can hang out and show you the area or you can do your own thing. Can definitely drink some beer with you and share stories.
