ABOUT ME

I've worked in the software field for years - it's fascinating stuff but one can only stare into the computer for so long - so I decided to take a break and travel for a while (a *long* while) - hoping to meet some great people on CS along the way.

Interests

I'm the kind of person that can find almost anything interesting - but I'm especially fascinated by how our universe works and how our mind works, so anything related to science, philosophy or to meditation or similar practices is sure to catch my attention. And I've always been interested in exploring new places for as long as I can remember myself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My most amazing travel experiences included trekking in the Himalayas (there's nothing like being disconnected from the world for a few weeks and just seeing awesome mountains all around you), visiting an abandoned town near Chernobyl (you can go into any apartment and see it just the way people left it more than 20 years ago), and overlanding in Africa (everything you see in the Lion King is real :)
