Hello and welcome to my site!

My name is Richard Amador and my aim is to become a modern-day flâneur, an observer and explorer of the world.  Presently, I’m a financial journalist in London and in addition to that I’m an author, video-maker and podcaster. I believe in irreverence and the freedom to be able to say what’s on one’s mind. If you’re a curious person with a sense of humour, we’ll get along nicely. My interests are many: psychology, history, economics, storytelling, dating and travel, to name a few. But at its core, I want to understand what makes people, people, and what our place in the grand scheme of things is. So I welcome anyone who wants to join me on that adventure. In either case, if you’re new to the site, you might want to take a look at the blog, or take a look at my most recent book Cavemen with Smartphones. But if you’re not in a reading mood at the moment, take a look at my YouTube or Podcasts as well. Hope you enjoy my material as much as I enjoyed producing it.
