ABOUT ME

Romanticist urbanist.
Engineer and language lover.
Social butterfly.
Political starfish.
History buff.
Asian food addict.

I have a 9 to 5 job in the power industry with an occasional visit to anomalous places like chemical plants, car factories, harbour cranes.
I am always on the move when not working. I am part of a political reading club, take Spanish classes and newly am quite into Yoga.
On the unhealthy side of the spectrum, I spend a night or two in the smoky dungeons and palaces of Berlin now and then.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was in the States when Obama was elected and I went to the event of the local Democrats. It was quite moving to see all the people being so happy to finally having gotten rid of George Bush and hoping for "change".

We once slept between the ruins of Ayutthaya when I was travelling in Thailand with a friend. Sunrise, and we had the whole place for us. Well, there was a street dog - but that only added to the magic of the place.

I scored quite a few goals as a young and ambitious football player.
