Maxim’s favorite pastime in childhood was drawing, but over time this interest faded.

Way to success

At the age of 14, Maxim got his first business – an Internet provider, with the help of which Max sold Internet access to the residents of his settlement.

The study also did not please – the level of teaching in the field of electronic technologies and business, according to Max, was outdated. In 2014, he expelled, and this faculty soon completely ceased to exist.

After that, Max became more and more interested in Blockchain technology. After first traveling to Thailand on a package tour in 2014, fascinated by the country, he set a goal to move to Asia, and in 2015 he succeeded.
