I have big plans for this life.

I’m Andrii. I travel, invest and experiment with AI. I’m building the freedom to decide where to be, who to spend time with and what to do. And I love it when a well-thought-out plan suddenly gives way to an adventure.

A READING PATHThree stories. Each with its own route.
RESEARCHER × INVESTOR × TRAVELER
So glad I went.
Sometimes I take a while to get going. Sometimes I decide along the way. Then I find myself on the other side of the world, thinking: I’m glad I made the trip. These are my routes, encounters and moments when reality exceeded expectations.
THE JOURNEY CONTINUES
The world is bigger

The complete record is being reconciled. No unverified total or percentage is shown.
Each country counted once. This is editorial coverage, not a visit total.
Countries I have visited
Partial map: 22 countries reconciled. A verified visit to one city is enough to fill the whole country. Darker colour means more separately evidenced visits.
1+, 2+, 3+ are minimum numbers of separate visits. Cities and articles from one visit do not add repeats. Neutral means “not yet reconciled”, not “never visited”. The visit map is independent of the article filters below.

TECHNOLOGY × MOVEMENT × CAPITAL
Can we do that already? Let’s find out.
I love figuring out things that seemed like science fiction just yesterday. I try AI on my own tasks, put tools together and see what actually works. The exciting part is when a new possibility becomes something I can already use.
Stories about AI and systems will appear here soon.
01Travel as exploration
More than a beautiful place: another way to see how people live, how systems work and how our decisions change.

Не більше технологічного шуму. Менше зайвих операцій і більше уваги для того, що справді цікаво досліджувати.
03Freedom takes capital.
Choosing how I spend my life matters to me. That’s why I work with capital: making decisions, weighing risks and thinking ahead. Behind the numbers, there’s always something tangible for me: my time and the freedom to decide what to do with it.
За цим підходом — особиста історія ↗How I got here.
Decisions, mistakes, people and trips that changed how I saw myself. This is my story and how it came together.
