CURRENT MISSION

To learn a word in every language, and to meet at least one person from all countries on earth!

ABOUT ME

I am a very outgoing person, who believes that each day is precious.
I think that meeting people is great, since it opens up paths that are untrodden otherwise.
I like to cook, to paint, and to read.
And I think that all of us have an inertia that we must overcome if we are to find new things.

PHILOSOPHY

Books
Technology and its implications for future societies. I wonder what life will be like in 50 years. If you told me fifteen years ago that there would be a magic box through which I could meet people, get the movies and books I wanted whenever I wanted, and instantly communicate with someone across the world I would have thought you mad! Well, my girlfriend always complains that I am either in the past, or in the future, but never in the present.
