This article hit home with me. Never being able to "find my passion" was stressful career-wise. But I found an occupation that has held my interest and I like my job. Throughout my life, I've found topics and hobbies that intensely interested me (still do!) and often novelty was a part of it, like when I lived abroad. I also found my fellow expats to be interesting people - stemming from your quote, "Being interesting is a side effect of being interested. The more time you spend on things that interest you, the more *likely* you are to become an interesting person."
Your definition of geeks and nerds was helpful because I thought they were synonyms, but I see the difference now. I look forward to reading more of your posts, I just subscribed.
