Knowing Latvia

The best perk of the work I do is meeting great people, I get to know different cultures, sports they love and other traditional stuff.  More than what I learnt in my 16 years in another profession!

I drove this guy the other day, he had spent many years in Latvia   Well you can look up Latvia on Google. Its Bath houses, love for ICE hockey and a current NBA sensation for the NY Knicks :). The most important lesson learnt however is how a country that was annexed by a certain powerful neighbor refused to let its own culture get diluted and still maintains the traditions and culture of its own.  
Will I travel to Latvia? I don't know. But I certainly want to find out why Riga is one of the most expensive properties in Monopoly!

Do you Uber full time?

I have been a ride-share driver for almost 2 years now. It was a great option to utilize my free time and pay for Golf and booze. ( ended up spending way more !)
Recently I decided to take a break in "full time " employment and begin "all time" work . I have been using the "Uber"  and "Lyft" "technology" platforms to make "high"ends meet in the over populated, extremely expensive Bay Area. Being over populated helps as there is very less downtime during peak hours (surge !surge!)
The best part of this work is that you get to meet many different people every day, many colors as I love to call them. Imagine having multiple Rainbows in your car on a single day!

So do I Uber/Lyft full time? No, I do it all time!
