An «UP» series directed by Paul Almond is a remarkable documentary witnessing the lives of people starting from 7 years of age up to 56, filming them every 7 years. I was reminded about it recently in connection with the name of my project, which apparently has nothing to do with the original series, but I am mesmerized by it these days, watching a series after a series. What other «serials» you might need than real life stories. Some credit that this experiment had contributed to developed of real TV shows. Well.

This project is a personal one and is for everyone who is looking for an inspiration to leading a meaningful life or changing it, especially if you have already turned 30.

After now over 15 years of professional experience working for private and non-profit sector in marketing and communications I take a break to set for a journey.I was 16, started my first job, working and studying, when the Internet emerged. Internet has literally opened the knowledge abundance now not limited to the “world library” series in my parents’ house. That was an amazing, breakthrough experience. After one “Iron curtain” removed, an Internet was an awesome unbelievable gift for someone striving for knowledge.
