CURRENT MISSION

I would like to host as much as my time allows me to return the kindness that I've received across many years of travels.

As I'm grateful to have a life full of experiences my current mission is to enable so to fellow explorers who are still on their life conquering journey.

I grew up across 3 continents, Europe, Asia and Australia.

Dwell my life as an explorer, in my hometown, work very hard to allow myself free time for travels.

ABOUT ME

English

I moved out of my parents home at the age of 17 turned into a thrill-seeking hitchhiker (mainly in central Europe and Balkans). At the age of 18, I bought a one-way flight to Istambul and on a tight budget of £200, I hitch-and-boat-hiked back to London - life changing. Following up I moved to Hong Kong, started photography, freerunning and tricking and low budget Island hopping in the Philippines in between my day to day Software Engineer job and rooftopping and indulging myself in local nature! Got interested in finance, moved back to London to combine it with programming professionally whilst being entirely into local urban exploration scene. I hosted numerous international parkour practitioners and made friends all across the globe. Turned into a digital nomad - coding from the Maldives and the middle east, floating in between many countries and London. With the boom of blockchain, I moved to Singapore to help with its technicalities and advisory. I returned to spend my early 2018 with my Australian family, hopped to Hawaii, got a coding scholarship in California, settled in New York for a short bit, returned to Europe, hopping in between privacy enhanced symposia and cryptography oriented event (raving in the night time). Currently back in London - pretty settled :D cofounding a second startup.
2023 Update: I spent the whole of 2021 travelling in Ukraine and Kaukaz. In 2022 I lived in Dubai exploring the desert. My daytime job is coding though I’d like to start doing more creative projects now. In Nov 2022 I settled back in London and am devoting my whole time to work and a healthy lifestyle.
2024 Update: I gave it a go to start a business and settle in Dubai which didn’t succeed immediately, I gave it a go and it turned my life upside down. I moved out of London permanently, travelled, lived in Montenegro, only to get a job in London (I applied to other countries!) again :) currently figuring it out. End of year climbed an Acatenango volcano in Guatemala.
2025 Update: After a very happy and then bittersweet time living in Minsk for 6 months I travelled Central Asia and relocated to live stably in Dubai changing my profession. This year is about peace after a trauma and upskilling.

I love being active, get things done, learn from first-hand experiences and never fail to grow.
Equally much there isn't a thing in the world that I value as much as freedom! Creativity, free spirit, morning breeze of the ocean in my hair, a good surf and deepest conversation.
