After shifting lines of work for a few years it seems like I've settled moreless in the freelance life - mostly music journalism, writing about the Middle East, translating, proofreading and other editorial duties.

Even though my main time-consuming activities are music and travelling, I'm obsessed with all sorts of knowledge, and the older I get, the more I'm captivated by people.

Originally from Barcelona, currently stationed in Ankara.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Have been using CS for years; it's a habit which is hard to get rid of.

Travelling to places and meeting folk from there, hosting and sharing experiences/stories about any sort of thing, it's just an enormously interesting way of knowing more about the world and hearing others' perspectives and tales. And I'm quite the sponge, so...

Here's my previous (now defunct) profile, for further reference:

Haven't been reading many books lately due to work, but always been a big fan of Eastern European literature, North-American postmodernism, Japanese novels, history books, etc.

Will watch any movie as long as it's not offensive, from droney black and white artfests to mindless action flicks.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I got to meet and chat with one of my musical heroes, Mike Watt from the Minutemen.

教，学，和分享

Conversations are the best thing ever. I'm always willing to share impressions and opinions on whatever the subject, and rant about geeky stuff if prompted.
