I love opposites and similarities, life and death, all emotions and feelings, and of course, I love meeting you. To me nothing is more inspiring than Life itself; beautiful and awful at the same time. Itโ€™s a drug with the most complex and intens side effects on earth. Nothing can compete with Life. Best part is, you canโ€™t overdose ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ so make sure you take in as much as you can. Thank you, Life ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

I am a computer nerd / book author / video artist from the San Francisco Bay Area, California, USA. I escaped the stress of Silicon Valley to have much less money but a much better quality of life, eventually settling in the tiny mountain town of Pai, Mae Hong Son province, Thailand, where I have lived for most of the last 15 years. Pai is a beautiful place https://allaboutpai.com/intro/ Hope you can visit some day! In 2008 I helped Casey Fenton and the nomadic Couchsurfing dev team get set up with internet in our small town of Pai. I am a fan of natural hot springs and beautiful mountain landscapes. We have both in Pai. For my hobby, I make interactive video art where you can dance around and see yourself as if you are in an impressionist painting, or made of fruits, or distorted in time. I like to bring this video art to the Burning Man festival and I have also set it up in Pai and China. You can check it out here: https://lurkertech.com/mez/ For my digital nomad "day job" I make language learning apps for iOS/Android, including Thai and Mandarin dictionaries and phrasebooks. I am the programmer (not linguistic) side of the partnership, but I know quite a lot of Thai and just the basics of Mandarin. https://word-in-the-hand.com/ https://slice-of-thai.com/ You may have heard that Thailand, Laos, and Burma have unbelievable, horrible air pollution---worse than China---every hot season around February - April now. Lots of people buy expensive air purifiers/filters, but in Pai where I live, most people cannot afford those. So I created a free, open-source DIY design and tested it out and translated the instructions to Thai so that lots of people in Northern Thailand can breathe clean air: https://slice-of-thai.com/air/ It's not pretty, but I hope it will save a lot of lives. I noticed that a lot of Thai-Western couples seem to run into the same cross-cultural misunderstandings over and over again---most of them totally avoidable---so a Thai friend and I wrote a bilingual cultural guidebook to the aspects of Thai culture and Western culture that cause the most problems in relationships: https://thailandfever.com/ Everything is in English and Thai, so the reader can simply point across the page when he/she wants help explaining a difficult issue. I am happily single myself, but I hope this book will help people make a good decision about whether they want to embark on the challenge of a cross-cultural relationship, and be happier if so! I am a native English speaker and fluent in Thai. I learned French decades back (most of it has been replaced by Thai in my brain :) ) and know basic Mandarin. I have just started to learn some basic Spanish (so far went through 28 Pimsleur lessons and studying via YouTube/websites). Happy to teach you some some Thai if you want a very strange skill :) I am quiet and I am a non-drinker and non-smoker (of anything). I'm friendly if other people 420 etc., but for me, regular life is already stimulating enough :)
