ubibene

Ubibene suffers from heavy internet addiction; he spends about 8-10 hours daily "researching" the web. Nomadic in nature, he lived, studied and/or worked in 7 countries (Denmark, Holland, Australia, UK, USA, Czech Republic and Slovakia) before settling down in sunny Spain where he lives happily with his beatiful wife and amazing twin boys. Any user from these countries is welcome to add him as a friend. Also users from other countries are welcome - we might have something in common pretty soon. Remember, he is nomadic in nature... He is actively involved in a community project edestino (collaborative travel guide) and also participates in a startup called ABA ingles (English e-learning project).
