About

Me? I am a 28 year old guy from switzerland.

As a kid, I spent a lot of time in front of computers, so naturally, I ended up with a bachelors degree (more precisely, the former swiss equivalent of a bachelors degree, dipl ing) in software engineering (again, more precisely, it’s in information technology). My interests broadened substantially during my early twenties, but professionally, I didn’t get away from IT.

In 2008 i quit my job as a web guy at a small company in frustration over my lack of personal and professional progress. I took what little money I had and embarked on a long trip. Originally, I planned to get around the world, but then got stuck in Asia. During this 18 months long trip, I started working as a digital nomad, doing the same work I did before, but while traveling. I’ve since pushed buttons for a living on beaches, in buses, boats, trains, airplanes, bars, coffeeshops, restaurants, parks, guesthouses, cities and this one time sitting on a sidewalk in Laos at 2am.

After I’ve been back to Switzerland for 5 months in the summer of 2010 I left again for Asia. Currently I am back in Switzerland again, trying to figure out what to do next. Please see my latest blog posts if you want to know where i am currently.

This blog? This is my attempt to cultivate my written english and get thoughts out of my head and into a slightly more reliable kind of memory device. It is also an effort at practising minimalism.

Many things occupy my mind at times and many stories I want to put in writing when the mood strikes. Posts here should be either entertaining, inspiring or thought provoking.
