About

Hi, my name is Artur Paikin. I blog about my life, travels and experiences in English and Russian.

I’m a web developer and traveler. I live on a narrow boat in London, navigating rivers and canals solarpunk pirate style. I love text adventure games, desktop Linux (this is the year), foldable bikes and cyberdecks.

In my spare time, I solder USB power cables to vintage radios and tape recorders, so that I can listen to the music and podcasts on the local FM wave. I also code static blog engines instead of writing new posts, and care about the decentralized web.
