Melbourne, Australia Market research and media consultant Interests: linguistics, culture, history, evolution, future studies, music I genuinely enjoy listening to points of view that are different from my own. It's good to challenge and to be challenged Guiding philosophy: "I do my thing and you do your your thing. I am not in this world to live up to your expectations, And you are not in this world to live up to mine. You are you, and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, it's beautiful. If not it can't be helped."
