When I was a boy, my uncle told me about his solo bicycle trek across Central America. I grew up wanting to do that, too. So I studied Spanish and computer engineering. On my first trip, I climbed the tallest mountain in the Andes (Aconcagua), then I hiked the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. My second trip was a solo bicycle trek across Central America. Then I got a job in in Tokyo. All totaled, I've spent about seven years backpacking around the world, with a special interest in Brazil, where I met my wife Lili. We reside in New Zealand. Here's my World Tour Blog. Here's Globalocity.
I work as a software developer / architect and project manager. Here's my Resume (CV). I used to teach Object-Oriented Programming and Design (the course notes are available as PDF files). Here's a fun example: Create your own FRACTAL art.
I speak Spanish and Portuguese fluently plus survival French and rusty Japanese. My favorite sport is called Footbag (I make my own). I'm also a fan of Ultimate and Disc Golf. I ride my bicycle to work whenever possible. Sometimes I burst into spontaneous juggling.
I agree with Secular Humanism. I believe that Evolution is not just a theory, but a fact. I have visited gorillas, chimpanzees, orangutans, and humans in the wild, so I can testify that we humans talk better than our furrier cousins, but we don't climb trees as well. The good news is that empathy is in our nature. Thanks for surfing my page. Peace.
