About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am embracing my inner entrepreneur and am recently back from Hong Kong. Take a peek at my blog theoccupyparty.wordpress.com and feel free to take me out for a coffee if you are passing through and discuss wearables, AI, universal bonus income, energy accounting, chakras, higher consciousness, the overview effect, or just have a good time!

Money and sustainability - restoring the missing link
