Zeno Gerakin

Personality: Nerd and foody but you would not guess it, at first.
Motto: Live with no regrets

When you first meet Zeno, you would never guess that he is the kind of guy who builds a computer from scratch and mounts all the elements inside a boat's closet... while drinking a decent bottle of wine. He has a deep passion for technology and loves every piece of hardware/software that are made for a smart purpose. Needless to say our van electronic system is top notch and the wiring is extremely clean. On the other hand, he is not a social butterfly but once you start a conversation, you will be charmed by his easy-friendly sense of humor.

Zeno's pleasure for good quality food is undeniable and he is always thinking about how to improve his next meal. Our van is outfitted with a fridge, freezer and stove-oven. Who could conceivably spend 6 months in a van and not bake a fresh loaf of bread?!

You will probably find Zeno reading a book in hot spring pool or looking at his phone to see how much charge our van's batteries got from the sun today.

He hates marketing.
