Hi I'm Herman Martinus.
I write words, ride bikes, climb mountains, and make things.
Currently living in Cape Town — possibly the most beautiful city in the world.
I'm the creator of the no-nonsense blogging platform, Bear, and a few other things.
I also write short-to-mid length essays about life, tech, and whatever I currently find interesting.
