ABOUT ME

visited 23 states (10.2%)Create your own visited map of The World or Free android travel guide
I don't think that I like traveling as much as I happen to do it. And nearly everyone of my jobs includes some degree of it. And by now it seems to have become a way of life. I appreciate truth and honesty to extent of getting myself in trouble by being too blunt about it. I like an educated argument on nearly every subject in the world. Having said that, philosophy or rather philosophizing is my primary activity.
I love learning new things or at least exploring them to in order to extend my understanding in as many areas as I can wrap my mind around.
I like learning new things, especially languages. I like going to another country and just trying to make it there.

PHILOSOPHY

There is no limit to what can be achieved, as long as you don't care who gets the credit for it.

Interests

Technology is fascinating me in all ways. I have great interest in green sustainable engineering from composting to electric cars to green architecture.
