Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Hunting for the best place to live, which I believe you can only find by having lived everywhere
ABOUT ME
A true engineering type - I'm the guy foraging in dumpsters for parts for my own projects. My moves, the culture shock and the need to make new friends has given me a broader view of the world, however, and I like to think of myself as being open to almost anything.
PHILOSOPHY
This is something I'm struggling with. 6 months ago I'd have said existentialist, but now I've realized that I'm just not satisfied with why I'm living my life. My philosophy right now is therefore most probably "Searching"
