Hans' Milieu

Hans Haupt: Postgraduate student and Monash University Alumnus

I am a 25 year old aspiring technology journalist, amateur ludologist, Social Network Services (SNS) enthusiast and prolific globetrotter.

I was born and bred in the little town of Benoni, located in the east of greater Johannesburg, South Africa. If the name sounds familiar it is because it is the same place that the gorgeous Oscar Winning actress Charlize Theron originates from.

I currently hold two degrees: a Bachelor of Arts with a double major in Communications and Marketing; and a Bachelor of Arts Honours in Communications (summa cum laude). I am also currently pursuing my Masters by research in New Media Communications and Ludological studies through a collaboration between the South African and Australian campuses of Monash University.

For as long as I can recall I have always harboured a passion for the latest and greatest that the technological world has to offer. As a result I have been an avid video gamer from before I could read, an Internet surfing fiend since puberty, a sporadic blogger since 2005 and a fan and frequent user of social network services since 2007. I am also a connoisseur of fine food, a burgeoning movie critic and a fledgling fitness buff.

Having written a few technology and gaming based guest articles, I am always open to new business or pleasure centric endeavours.

I personally hope that Hans’ Milieu will add a little something extra to your day while continuing to reveal more about who I am.

Sit back, relax and remember: ‘do not follow your dreams, chase them’.
