About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Accept the present moment.

ABOUT ME

I love to travel, mostly to experience culture and meet people that view life from a different angle.

I like adventures based on whims and random thought, not worrying about the details or time constraints.

I'm enthusiastic about technology and computers. I love to help others learn and share whatever knowledge I have.

PHILOSOPHY

Live in the present moment, because it is all we have. I believe that it's impossible to be satisfied if we think that we will be happy sometime in the future once we do X, Y, and Z. Life is about the journey, and once one journey is over, it is time to embark once more.

I believe that each person, at the highest level of their being, is perfect. I try, as much as I can, to separate each person from their actions and possessions. I think that judgmental comparisons are harmful to oneself. I think that I can find something of myself in everyone, and something of them in me. We all have a unique perspective.
