Travel information

I am currently

Description

I’m an adventurous and hardworking person with a background in maritime studies. I’ve completed three contracts at sea, which allowed me to visit many countries across different continents and sparked my passion for cultural exchange and exploration.

Over the years, I’ve worked in a variety of hands-on jobs: as a scaffolder and insulation worker in Finland, and as a gardener in Latvia. Each experience taught me valuable skills, flexibility, and the importance of teamwork and responsibility.

Now, I’m beginning a new chapter—an ambitious journey around the world by bicycle. My route starts in Finland and I plan to ride all the way to Spain, and beyond. This journey isn’t just about travel, but about meaningful connections, learning from others, and growing through every encounter and challenge on the road.

I speak intermediate English and I’m currently learning Spanish (beginner level). I’m always ready to help, share stories, learn new skills, and contribute wherever I can. What truly makes me happy is being surrounded by nature, working with my hands, meeting open-hearted people, and building something real together.

More details about your skills

I have a wide range of practical skills gained through different types of hands-on work in various environments.

At sea, I worked on deck during three contracts. My tasks included painting, rust removal, light carpentry, and some basic welding. Life onboard taught me discipline, precision, and how to work hard in demanding conditions.

On land, I’ve worked as a gardener where I trimmed trees, laid mulch, planted flowers, and removed weeds. I enjoy working outdoors and taking care of nature.

I also have experience in construction and insulation. In Finland, I worked with glass wool insulation for buildings, and I helped build scaffolding structures. These jobs developed my physical and mental strength, attention to detail, and ability to work as part of a team under safety regulations.

I’m always willing to learn and improve my skills, and I approach every task with a positive attitude.

What else ...

One of my biggest dreams is to see the entire world — not just through places, but through people, experiences, and the wisdom they hold. I want to grow through every encounter and challenge, and collect stories, lessons, and moments that shape me.

About hobby - I want to live simply, fully, and with purpose — connected to nature, to people, and to the quiet truth inside. Not just existing, but truly living — with open eyes, a curious heart, and a willingness to feel it all. Every moment, every person, every place is a part of the journey. That, to me, is the greatest adventure.

Of course, I have many other interests, but they all fade in comparison to this deeper calling: to live freely, to grow through experience, and to find meaning in every step I take.
