Programmer Offgrid

I didn’t plan this life.

I fled the unfair, unbelievable, unimaginable war russia started in my country, Ukraine, and ended up in an abandoned house in the middle of nowhere in Spain.

No one had lived here for the last 30 years. 
There is no running water. No electricity. No heating. No road signs. No people.

But I fell in love with it.

I’m a regular programmer, and I love my work. Sometimes I spend way too much time glued to a screen. I used to live a typical life with all the comfort a modern city can offer.

But now I live off-grid.
I use my hands more than I ever did before, and this place forces me to step away from the keyboard and reconnect with reality.

I make videos to share that journey—from installing solar panels to restoring an old water pump, from composting toilets to Starlink internet.
This is the messy, imperfect process of building a life from scratch.

I had no idea how to do any of this. I still don’t, most of the time.
I’m just figuring it out along the way.
