Traveled Europe as a kid, loved Greece. Leftist parents, grew up in academic environment. I do vipassana meditation, hula hoop, read alot.
PHILOSOPHY
Believe real time interaction is so important in times of increasing technology and social networking. I connect more easily in person, would love to discuss things, feel things out as we walk the streets.
