Software architect ,heavy reader, historian and last but not least hitchhiker !

I love to teach and explain be it software, history , geopolitics or philosophy , and see people finally "get it" !

I love to be on the road , i love the cars, the highways, the gas stops, getting at the edge of cities and villages for a better hh spot.I love the conversations with fellow drivers , being able to exchange info with people from all walks of life in such a short span !
I can work from any kind of location , the weirder the better.

I also Iove to brainstorm ideas !

I read alot and quite unrelate, since my interests fluctuate alot.I love to tell people about the books i read and to summarize them , to synthetise a 500 page book in a couple of sentences.Did i say i love to teach? :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiked 10000km in 43 days, from Austria to Yerevan through central europe, balkans, Turkey, Georgia, Armenia and came back to Turkey and hitchhiked again to Bucharest along the Southern Shore. To make this even challenging in the meantime i was also working a full time job (5AM to 8AM and 8PM to 11PM) so i took calls and meetings from highways, gas stops and ditches even and any kind of improvised soundproof location.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can also share mt insight into efficient hitchhiking as well as bodyweight training (calisthenics)
