Hi there, welcome to my public journal on the internet. My name is Timothy Lie, born in a tropical country at the northeastern part of South America, Suriname.
Here’s a summary of what I have been up to these couple of years.
As a photographer and explorer, 2024 has been a year of profound adventure. In the first quarter, I embarked on a voyage to Antarctica, documenting its isolated white desert and unique wildlife. The second quarter led me to North America for the Solar eclipse, followed by an exploration of the Arctic regions in Svalbard and Tromsø. Later, I ventured to Africa, visiting Kenya and Namibia to further expand my portfolio. In the fourth quarter, I explored parts of the Middle East, as well as Central and East Asia, before continuing onward to Australia and New Zealand. From there, I island-hopped across the Pacific Ocean through French Polynesia, Samoa, Fiji, Christmas Island, and Hawaii. By the end of this journey, I had set foot on all seven continents within a single year, significantly broadening my perspective on global wildlife observation.
In 2023, my focus shifted from the tennis courts—where I spent much of the year before—back to professional pursuits. My growing interest in scientific research, particularly related to wildlife and climate change in polar regions, is now at the heart of my work.
In 2022, I took a personal break, rekindling my childhood passion for tennis and traveling around Europe. One of the highlights was attending a Ghibli & Joe Hisaishi orchestra in Bordeaux, France, a truly inspiring experience.
Back in 2021, as the world started to regain its rhythm, the crypto markets surged. A project I had been working on with friends—the Etherblox sculpture—caught the attention of Gitcoin founder Kevin Owocki. I personally delivered the sculpture across the continent. Later that year, I attended cryptoart exhibits in New York, where my close friend Jivinci showcased his work.
The Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 was a pivotal time. I documented the impacts of the pandemic and economic crisis in my native country, Suriname, through photography. That same year, my friends and I began a project to sculpt a stone, which we later tokenized as an NFT on the Ethereum network.
My journey in the crypto markets began in 2015, when I stumbled upon Dogecoin. This curiosity led me to Bitcoin and, by the following year, Ethereum. Since then, I’ve focused on long-term investing while also working on various art projects within the Ethereum ecosystem.
