My expat journey
California, USA
Hiking, software development.
I currently work at Verimatrix Inc. a global audiovisual encryption product developer.
For fun I work on the analysis of key data and their impact on the American stock markets.
I love nature and the desert. The fact that I can go to the beach, to the mountains or to a canyon in the middle of the desert, all within a 2 hour drive.
Not enough public transport, all the shops and restaurants point towards a huge parking lot. No street life. (except in the center of San Diego)
Franchises that are identical throughout.
You have to look for the little nuggets in the pile!

Three Aussies on a Train by JWilliamson
Three Kiwis and three Aussies are traveling by train to a conference. At the station, the three Aussies each buy tickets and watch as the three Kiwis buy only a single ticket. "How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?" asks an ...
That was quite hilarious. It seems all you need is a neighboring country to start cracking jokes at their expense. French likes to crack jokes about Belgians and the same jokes are made on the other side about french. Only the nationality changes x) Read More
