I'm a hacker. Currently a life hacker as well ;) I've worked for 14 years in IT, but always had this dream to go travel the world and see as much as I can. 25 days off a year or a sabbatical year weren't enough time to realize this. I also love to explore different ways of life, finding ways within the current system to survive and live a fulfilling life. A lot can be built from stuff that others throw away, an example on HN today is the Poor Man's 3D-printer. Based on all the experiences I go through now, I eventually want to set up my own community, in a way that it is scalable and not dependent on other systems, so it can provide a working alternative for people who suffer from stress due to unfulfilling jobs and feeling stuck in the life they're living. I see a lot of people fighting capitalism for example, or disagreeing with their government, but without an alternative, they still feel they are dependent on these systems and therefore are not willing to bite the hand that feeds them. It's in hackerspaces and the hacker scene where I see a new world being built :)
