W(o/a)ndering a(b/r)ou(t/nd) the world with curiosity

My 2026

As of 07/02/2026

Every December, when I look back at the year that passed I become confused whether I am proud of the year or not. So now I decided to document my year somewhere to have some reference of my journey.


    Reading like 6 books at the same time...

    "Demian" by Herman Hesse,

    "Laughter in the Dark" by Vladimir Nabokov,

    "Invitation to a Beheading" by Vladimir Nabokov,

    "Siddhartha" by Hermann Hesse

    UK: London, Coventry, Oxford, Cambridge
    USA: San-Francisco, Palo Alto
    Switzerland: Montreux,

    Going to a pet cemetry under the golden gate bridge,
    Throwing a pretty wholesome birthday party,
    Attending a private screening of an AI documentary,
    Attending a Longevity movie screening and talking to Steve Horvath

    Witnessing the creation of a start-up,
    Thinking about AI, mind-games and the world ahead

    Playlist of Arcane songs (as stand-alone music),
    "Flaming June" (1895) by Frederic Leighton (painting),
    System of a Down (the band) (finally started appreciating them),
    Shortparis (the band),
    Nikolay Komyagin (the artist)
