ABOUT ME

Have fun figuring it out.

PHILOSOPHY

€œWould you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here? ''That depends a good deal on where you want to get to'.' Said the Cat. I don't much care where / Said Alice. Then it doesn't matter which way you go, said the Cat.â€

I am a faithful attendant of good theatre and film. My favorites genres are surrealism and existentialism as well as pieces that play with dark humor or that don’t fear to express (social) criticism. Some examples are David Lynch, Stanley Kubrick, Pedro Almodovar, and Alejandro González Iñarritu.

I love reading. I love books. I love the smell of paper. I love the touch of paper. Its peace and silence. I love its histories. Amongst my favorites are Mario Vargas Llosa, Gabriel Marcia Marquez, Milan Kundera, Anthony Burgess, George Orwell, Samuel Beckett, Roberto Bolaño and Peter Verhelst.

I like languages and traveling, in photography and art, meeting new cultures and understanding the world. I would like to see as much of the world as possible. I like hitchhiking and impulsive(road)trips.
