  • Description

    Sveiki, dear people!

    I am here(as most of us) with a desire to travel and explore the world. I was born in Riga, Latvia, around 22 years ago, and I've spent my entire life here. Riga, the heart of the Baltic States, is a small yet unique city with a rich history. Recently, I graduated from Latvian University, where I studied sociology. While academic education is a valuable tool in life, right now, I'm craving something different—a well-deserved travel experience.

    Since my teenage years, I've yearned to travel to various parts of our planet, but I chose to gain my education firstly. The world is big, and I want to see more, learn more, and truly comprehend the diversity of life. I'm an enthusiastic, mischievous, and kind-hearted person. I experience everything deeply, and I'm profoundly touched by everything around me. This shapes who I am.

    Although I'm new to workaway traveling, I've decided to give it a try because it seems like a fun and beneficial way to travel while immersing myself in different cultures. One of my main inspirations in life is people—the individuals who are open to sharing their stories, places, feelings, and experiences. I appreciate the sounds, smells, and touch of new textures, as well as the exploration of new landscapes, faces, and adventures. All of these elements inspire me to stay present in the moment and reminds me that I am alive.

    I would be happy to be part of something, whether it's working in a team or pursuing my passion for creating. Looking forward to new experiences and hoping for the best!

    More details about my language interests
    I have some experience in teaching English to children, and I have also participated in projects focused on teaching spoken Russian to students. I genuinely enjoy helping others gain confidence in their language skills. Moreover, I consider myself a fast learner. I'm passionate about learning new languages, especially those spoken in the countries I travel to. I believe that by doing so, I demonstrate respect and a genuine interest in the culture I am immersed in. I've tired to learn a little bit of Estonian, German and Italian when I was somehow connected to its speakers.

  • What else ...

    Some unmetioned points about me:

    - I have worked in the food service industry as a barista, bartender, and waitress for more than 5 years.
    - I used to be a dancer, but I had to quit due to a knee injury. (I am all good, although I can no longer dance on a daily basis)
    - I absolutely adore cats, but my favorite animal would be either a crow or an otter
    - I volunteered as a camp counselor at a school camp for several years and also worked at a summer day language-learning camp, where I interacted with and tought to children aged 6 to 14. These experiences have developed my big love for children and opened my eyes, I had learnt with them as well everyday.
    - I am likely one of the most emotional and sensitive individuals you could ever meet
    - I consider myself as a great friend and a person to talk to
    - I am yearning for a change and open to life challenges

    • Special dietary requirements
      I wouldn't say I am a picky eater, but there are some products that are big no-no(any organs, olives, some sea products). Also, I am trying to reduce meat consumption. It means sometimes I eat it, but thinking of other options daily.
