CURRENT MISSION

Existential adventurer, raconteur, and inveterate nomad pursuing the least boring options in life

ABOUT ME

Nomad/Gentleman/Outlaw/Philosopher...Not trying to 'achieve' anything in this life. Just trying to avoid boredom. But its been a fun life so far. Sailed, flown, driven, and hitchiked the world. Been rich, been poor, a few times over now. Haven't had a 'real' job for 20 years, and not looking to start either. Not particularily interested in the rules, what I 'should' be doing, or what others think. Live and learn and learn to live. Live and let live.....it's all about perspective.

PHILOSOPHY

Take 3 parts Nietzsche, 1 Part Sartre, and a twist of Camus. Sprinkle liberally with Chomsky, then add a dash of Dostoyevsky. Garnish with Kierkegaard (or a little Heidegger for the brave). Stir in a Kafkaesque manner until you realise that all human existence is mired in confusion, fear, and angst and thus; all seems lost.

Simply serve chilled in a tall glass of Authentic Existential Freedom for the rest of your life and enjoy.

Interests

I own and operate the TIU FrontPage Hostel in Odessa and the TIU Bolshaya Hostel in Sevastopol.....I was a CSer before I got into the Hostel business so if you need any info about Odessa, Crimea, or travelling in Ukraine in general feel free to send me a message.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I woke up today with yet another opportunity to be who I choose to be, to do as I choose to do, and experience it all again in the way in which I choose.
