The most important thing that you need to know about me is that it takes me 30 min to read through the items on the menu in a restaurant. Second most important thing that you need to know is that 50% of the time I don't know the meaning of the words on the menu. So I much rather buy the ingredients myself and cook at home.

I'm a firm believer in doing things your way. Be the black sheep. Get off the beaten path. Go explore the unseen. Try it before judging it. Be curious. Live life fully.

Other things you need to know ( I try to summarize it here, but I'll give you the longer version if we meet) : I left my home country when I was 22 and crossed the pond to follow my dream and start a life in the U.S. Now I'm working as consultant working with different states to make the transportation system better for everyone.

In my free time I work out, cook, play tennis, study Russian/Spanish, go latin dancing, and explore Austin
