Andrew L.

I am a 45 year old man, not married and have no kids. I have lived a pretty full life although it has been remarkably hard at times. I spent over ten years shooting up heroin and going through rehabilitation centers for this. No regrets because I have learned a great deal about myself and others. I went as far becoming a counselor for a while helping other addicts. I am now clean almost 12 years. My real passion in life is mycology. If you are wondering what means, I am just a mushroom farmer. I love fungi and all the promises it holds for the human race. From medicinal solutions to eco friendly building materials and food, fungi offer a wide range of exciting and cost effect solutions to many daily issues. I grew up in the end of the apartheid regime in South Africa and this has obviously impacted on my political stand point. You welcome to ask me about that. This is just a small amount of info on me. My life has led me down paths that have left me non-judgmental toward what other are experiencing and this makes me a very receptive and sympathetic listener. I honestly look forward to meeting and chatting with anybody. I welcome honest debate and encourage people to challenge each other to be better.
