I first visited the Gateway of India at the end of December 2025, during our three-week trip to India. We spent only a few short days in Mumbai, and this stop was not planned in any deep or academic way. We arrived from The Lalit Hotel by Uber — roughly a 28 km drive, costing under 700 Indian rupees. At that point, I had only a vague idea of what the place was, and almost no sense of its symbolic weight.
Our family has been attending Mziuri Tennis Club in Tbilisi since September 2025, after several recommendations from our BIST community. We signed up our 7-year-old for the junior program, which costs 300 GEL per month. After a few months of regular training, here’s an honest, practical review.
After returning from our amazing trip to Thessaloniki, we decided to extend our holiday a bit longer — this time in beautiful Tsikhisdziri. Huge thanks to Eto for kindly offering her cozy apartments at Bambo Beach, where we enjoyed a full week of relaxation by the sea.
During our stay, we explored local gems like Shukura Tsikhisdziri (შუქურა ციხისძირი), savored delicious Georgian food, and took a peaceful stroll through the Batumi Botanical Garden.
Earlier today, YouTube unexpectedly recommended a Russian-language documentary titled “The Baltic Verdun (1944–1945)”, produced by Frontline Chronicles. The film presents rare archival footage from the Battle in the Courland Pocket, a series of fierce engagements fought in western Latvia during the final months of World War II.
Summer in Latvia movie is out - Join us on our July (2025) journey through Latvia: installing a bathtub in our countryside cottage, setting up a pop-up store at Bangotnes, celebrating a birthday in Vērbeļnieki, traveling via Riga to Jaunpiebalga, Vecpiebalga, Smiltene, and Valka.
From sipping sparkling wine with swallows to running 4K morning runs, and so much more, this film captures the essence of a vibrant Latvian summer. Enjoy the video and thumbs up!
When setting up Terramatris, our crypto hedge fund, one of the earliest strategic decisions we faced was choosing the right jurisdiction for incorporation. After weighing options like the Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands or Panama, we ultimately decided on Wyoming, USA. Here’s why.
Many hedge funds gravitate toward Caribbean jurisdictions because of their established offshore structures and global recognition. However, for Terramatris, Wyoming offered three key advantages:
This time (May 2025), our journey takes us to Gori and the enchanting Chateau Ateni - a hidden gem where authentic Georgian cuisine blends seamlessly with avant-garde natural wines, soulful traditional dance, and even the charming surprise of a small chick farm.
Turning 40 is a milestone worth celebrating in style, and what better way than in Thessaloniki — a city that seamlessly blends history, culture, and cuisine. From affordable flights and boutique stays to seafood feasts and hidden beaches, our journey turned into an unforgettable week-long adventure.
August ended with yet another packed and memorable weekend in Georgia. This time, our journey took us from the hills near Kojori to the refreshing waters of the Tbilisi Sea, and finally to the historical town of Gori, where we enjoyed a hearty Sunday brunch and paid a visit to the ancient Ateni Sioni Church.
I had heard so much about Azeula Fortress (also known as Kojori Fortress) over the years, yet for some reason, I had never actually made the trip. That changed at the end of August, when we finally decided to explore it.
At the beginning of May 2025, we embarked on a 4-day trip to Israel to reconnect with the Fischer family.
We explored beautiful beaches, savored delicious local cuisine, and enjoyed quality time together. From Tel Aviv, we continued our journey to Cyprus to attend one of the largest conferences in the translation industry. While Sandra was actively engaged in networking at the event, we spent our time relaxing by the pools, making the most of the sunny Mediterranean atmosphere.
Sometimes even the most loyal gym-goers need to shake things up—and that's exactly what I did this month. After years of training at the "luxurious Axis Tower gym", I decided to take a short break. Not because I had any complaints about the quality or experience—quite the opposite—but because the price difference was just too significant to ignore. Enter: 12 Rounds Boxing Club.
Every year, it’s become a beloved tradition for us to head to Latvia during the Easter school holidays—our special spring break getaway. This isn’t just any vacation; it’s a hands-on family adventure packed with progress, nature, and unforgettable memories.
