How We Live & Change Over Time

Traditional social profiles ask 'Who are you?' Earth Citizen asks 'How are you living, and what chapters brought you here?'

JIKOO

Founder of Earth Citizen · Former Welder · App & SaaS Builder

I welded for more than ten years at shipyards, plants, semiconductor and battery sites, and offshore. At the lowest point of my life I faced my lifelong fear of water and went scuba diving, and then started a different life with one idea: just do it. Now I move between countries and build apps and SaaS.
