About Me

I'm all about learning. I want to learn all the time - about science, culture, philosophy, psychology. The internet is a great tool - but nothing substitutes the reality of being there. Therefore travel is a huge part of my life.
I traveled widely when I was young - visiting over 80 countries - and now, married with 3 children I share this passion (as part of the passion for learning) with my family.
But I like to have fun and socialize meeting people is what travel is all about. It's great to share experiences. Typically socializing happens around food. The diversity of food is another inducement to travel.
All in all what I'm talking about is the enjoyment of life.
