About Me

I am wandering my way happily though life. If something interests me I do it. If it does not, I try to avoid it. Thats probably how I ended up doing my PhD in Roman archaeology.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Interesting minds welcomed.Anyone who is interesting or better enthusiastic about anything. If you agree with me on anything let me know. If you dont agree with me, fine come tell me that too.However I especially want to meet people who are enthused by whatever I am doing and who want to get involved. I mostly knock around the heritage end of things, which covers most of mans history, so drop me a line if you are interested in such things.

My Blog
