About

Not all those who wander are lost. But those who do not wonder are. This blog is about the wanderings of a wonderer and the wonderings of a wanderer compelled to roam the earth in search of wisdom and the meaning of happiness.

Spurring me on my quest is Lantern Jack, a daemon or, perhaps, emanation of the noosphere. Lantern Jack made me leave my former, comfy, sedentary life and is guiding me as I travel in search of extraordinary people – people who live or think so differently than the rest of us that they make you re-examine your own life and basic assumptions.

Inspired by the story of Diogenes, who carried around a lantern, claiming that he was trying to find a genuine human being, I am traveling in search of people and experiences that can teach me things you can’t learn in books or at a university. This blog is a catalog of my adventures and explorations of the noosphere as well a way for other wonderers and wanderers to connect with me.

If you’re new to this site, you may want to read the story of how my adventures began.

Or you can begin following the journey from my first day of hitchhiking (mis)adventures

Enjoy and stay hungry!
