Overview
About Me
I define myself as a 21st century post-modern geek!But I mean geek in the best sense of the term: the smart, eternally curious seeker of information, not the smug know-it-alls with questionable personal hygiene! I love reading non-fictional books with interesting titles, listening to acoustic/folk music, watching indie-films and poorly made American reality TV shows ,I am also interested in learning languages of Romance(No pun intended).
After exiting the evil oil industry in 2015, I became a lifestyle blogger writing articles about lifestyle designing, travel hacking, online business and self-improvement strategies. I admire anyone who choose the unconventional path and try absolutely their best to escape the boring 9-5 and live larger lives, those are the kind of people who I cannot wait to meet, host and hangout with, so if you are one of them, do not hesitate to ping me up.
