I love long conversations with a cup of coffee or tea /chai on my hand...
I love exchanging points of view and learning different approaches towards things in this life...

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite artist is Philip Glass, but I listen anything interesting (which obviously excludes pop) I do not like heavy metal /hardcore...either... Yet.... As contradictory as it may seem.... I enjoy from punk to flamenco...
I like artists like Ryuichi Sakamoto, Dillon, Agnes Obel, Estrella Morente, Enrique Morente, Garbage, La Bien Querida, Yann Tiersen, Los Planetas, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Manu Chao.... I am very eclectic when it comes to music...

Movies... It is hard to pick one.... Perhaps "Blade Runner" ... Or a completely different concept of a movie, nearly has the flavour of a play called "The extraordinary tale of the timetables" it makes me feel really good... Or The Dead Poets Society"...
For the past 5 years mainly anything that is NOT coming from Hollywood... The last two movies that I have watched... At the time of writing this... "A Taxi Driver" , a Korean movie loosely based on the incidents that took place in a region called Gwangju in 1980... And another Korean movie called "Okja" a very interesting story about a girl from a rural part of Korea, a US corporation and a group of activist... The movie in my opinion has a very good plot and it manages to stich surreal humor with serious situation and the flow is good.

About Books... I must confess that I am not an avid reader... But at the moment I am reading 1Q84 from Murakami

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

How to make bread with sourdough (Really simple and very rewarding... Great feeling)
About Learning... I love being shown how to do things... New ways of seeing things...

What I Can Share with Hosts

Regarding material things... Anything I have... I am very spartan and frugal when it comes to things... I don't have an exacerbated sense of possession... I let go easily...
About my most precious treasures... My experiences... Happy to share... :)
