It is so exciting, to sit here and write about me, about my plans. I cannot believe I did this. By "this" I mean: take a year off, take a break of multiple project that I am running. And what meant to be a one year off, turned into two, so great it is.

I am 40, Latvian, lately worked as a manager for tourism site in a small village next to the mystical mound. It is quite magical place I call home, there are believed to be powerful energies here. :) Those guided me here after I finished my almost 7 years of work in university of applied sciences as an event manager.
For more the last ten years I have worked on project management, organizing events (educational, cultural, cohesion, etc.) in public institutions and NGOs, and leading tours of a local small brewery in German and English. In recent years, working in hospitality with tourist groups and individually has been my priority, I have been the (super)host of Airbnb for 7 years. I have also led lectures and seminars on tourism and communication tools.
Whatever I have done, I have always liked to lend a hand. I'm not afraid of physical work. In post-graduate Erasmus internship in Portugal, for example, I took part in setting up a permaculture garden, helping to organize seminars on environmental topics, and I was happy to prepare vegetarian meals for the whole team (around 10 people) and guests. I respect the environment I am in, so although I am not a vegetarian, I adapt and do not eat meat in a community where it is not done.
Lately I completed my master's studies in International Tourism Events Management. My topics are sustainability, zero waste and eco designInterests
