Frank

I am an avaricious learner, with an unrelenting desire to imbibe and comprehend every piece of knowledge or random piece of trivia that comes my way. It makes no difference at all if it`s to do with technology, science, politics, literature, Greek mythology… you name it! I am interested in absolutely everything. As a result, most of my time is spent reading, watching interesting TV shows and documentaries, and getting lost within obscure internet rabbit holes. Otherwise, I love to travel and have been lucky enough to have visited over 30 countries so far. I`m also very keen on playing sports, with my favorites being football (soccer), swimming, surfing and squash.
