Hey there!
We are Irina and Maris from small Baltic country - Latvia.
Our desire is to travel and meet local people anywhere in the world to share experience and in the summer of 2024 open our home in Latvia for travellers like us!
We have lived in Malaysia for 3 months with workaway, living in Iran and most of the Europe countries for last 8 years and having a lot of amazing workaway experiences.
From years 2019-2022 we were living and working in Amsterdam.
At the end of 2022 our journey to unknown began - we spent 5 month in SE Asia, then came back to Latvia for a summer if 2023 and then decided to spend our first winter season in Finnish Lapland, planning to come back to Latvia in April 2024.
We enjoy learning new things and have no preferences for help. Irina has experience in hospitality- running hostels (A-Z) and working with groups of people, also she is certified Hatha/Vinyasa yoga teacher! Maris is passionate fisherman and skilled carpenter, can fix or build anything! :) We both have 10 years experience in team building event management so we can surely tell that we have hands on attitude! Storytelling of Maris is absolute hilarious addition to cosy evening by the bonfire!
We are hard workers and we love animals (and people as well hah). We see ourselves as mature, friendly and easygoing, super flexible and simply happy people willing to share happiness and fun! We can function also separately as we respect each others alone time and space, so you can rely on us that we are independant human beings growing together without need of supervision.
What we say - we do. It is very important for us to be reliable.
We truly believe that simple and pure human connection will save humanity!
Have fun and sun hope to meet you someday!Interests
