Welcome to my journey
Wanderer, engineer, musician, teacher, warrior, entrepreneur – many essences a man may be destined to follow, and so am I.
My name is Yuri Ostapchuk, and I’m from Ukraine. In the middle of Covid-19 quarantine I decided to hop on the plane and go on the worldwide trip with my wife against all odds and in the pursuit of adventure and experience of a lifetime.
While traveling one can achieve not only physical but mental freedom as well – ability to think beyond and dream bold. “There is no better time than now!”, said I to myself – and so this blog has started…
…as has started many other projects that I dreamed to start in 2021. But 2022 has come and brutal war has been started against my country. I knew there was no other destiny for me than to return and join military – this was an existential war for my country and for me.
Being an infantry scout I fought on the eastern front and got injured by a landmine…
These days I stay in Kyiv with my beautiful wife, recovering from my injury, working on this blog, waiting for a victory, and helping Ukrainian military with my skills as a software engineer.

Life is a journey – I discover it by exploring and creating, getting inspired and inspiring others. This blog is to reflect and share this purpose of mine.
