Description
We have moved form Latvia capital Riga to country side a year ago and live in very beautiful historical place near to Gaujiena. The house has been built 1981 and band- 1900. We have here a lot of historical evidences and would like to build a home museum to honor all we've got.
Near to house is a beautiful lake with camping, swimming and sport opportunities.
And we are dreaming that our place can be a camper service provider one day helping people to rest are lower everyday stress. My husband Viljar is children camp leader, mainly working in neighbor country Estonia. I am Ilva. Mainly working from home facilitating systemic sessions, preparing and conducting different seminars and trainings.
We have 5 cats and a dog. When lived in Riga I was helping at the animal shelter providing also temporary homes for stray cats. now we have here place, where probably could build our own animal shelter. My husband is a carpenter, have also different tools and dreaming to make a workshop to teach children to work with wood.
We have both together 6 children. 4 of them are already living their own lives and families. Two are learning at high schools.
