Edit: Keeping the below as a good memory, but now I run a tech startup that's pretty fast growing and keeping me busy.

Former academic philosopher/freelance journalist traveling the world for a year writing a few books. Deeply empathic and a good listener; I'm told that I would make a good politician. I hope that's a compliment...

I'm funding my travels by sitting on street corners with a chess board and betting people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm happy to have discussions about philosophy with anyone. Or social justice issues. Or history. Or anything, really. Teach me about what you're interested in.

I'll also cook for you!

I teach conflict resolution for a non-profit, so I can give a lesson. :)
