CURRENT MISSION

Somehow extract myself from Prague, explore as much of Europe as possible without rushing, and return to California in one piece (and at peace) after 4 years in the Old World.

ABOUT ME

I love adventuring, exploring, experimenting, so I am always trying new things, very flexible and open minded, but its very hard for me to focus on one thing for a long time. Always trying to do too much in too little time. But I like it that way :D

PHILOSOPHY

Variety is the spice of life. Many a truth said in jest
