Welcome to Impressive Life.
A short tour of everything here, one stop at a time. The life in Spain first, then the work.
Unsuccessful gangster. Successful everything else.
A book, a family treasure hunt, green work, small apps and honest market notes. All built from the Costa Blanca.

ScrollWho
Lithuania. London. Spain since 2019.
Valentas Bartkevicius grew up in Soviet Lithuania, tiled and managed building sites in London, and has lived in the Alicante region since 2019.
He wrote a book about how most of it went wrong. Impressive Life is where the next part gets built: slowly, from this coast, with nothing on this site dressed up as bigger than it is.

Eight doors.
Mind the last one.
Each is a separate piece of work with its own page and its own contact. Some are open. The ones that aren’t say so on the door.
Books · Out now
Diary of an (un) Successful Gangster.
It’s so difficult to be a gangster. Especially an unsuccessful one. Paperback and hardcover. Book two is coming.
Secret · Kickstarter soon
The hunt is already on.
One family treasure-hunt book. Real clues. Real hidden figurines. All over Spain.
Green · Two open, one direction
Start with the leftovers.
Used solar panels collected free. Wind turbines decommissioned turnkey in Spain and France. Waterless greenhouses, a direction.
Build · In progress
Small tools. Ordinary days.
A beauty salon, the app that runs its floor, and Safehouse: a private Android messenger, early MVP, read once and gone.
Markets · Education only
Test first. Believe later.
Strategies tested on paper, against real fees, before anything is called a plan. Not advice.
Watch · Channel coming soon
Good life. Filmed as it is.
Spain, the builds, the hunt and the green jobs, without the brochure. The first film is already up.
Homes · Later
The closed door.
Homes in Spain, one day. Not yet: no listings, no prices, no tour. Principles first.

It’s so difficult to be a gangster.
Especially an unsuccessful one. A crime memoir where nothing goes to plan. Including the crime.

Write · Escríbenos
A quiet note is enough.
For anything on this site. Each door has its own direct contact, so the note lands with the right desk. It’s the same desk, but still.
