<p>Alan lived and worked in Kenya for eight years, first as a volunteer teaching computer science at a rural college, and later as a Linux systems administrator at a <ahref="https://www.ilri.org">livestock research institute in Nairobi</a>. During his time in Kenya he traveled extensively around East Africa and <ahref="https://alaninkenya.org">blogged about his experiences</a>. He is passionate about open-source software, information security, and the freedom of information—naturally, he <ahref="https://mjanja.ch">blogs about that too</a>.</p>
<p>After spending some time living in (and <ahref="https://englishbulgaria.net">blogging about</a>) Bulgaria, he finds himself living in Jordan. These are his stories.</p>
