Descripción
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 design

We had an incredible time with Elli. She worked with us for more than one season and she really fit in the team and the spirit of having guests and provide them with everything that is needed. We think as well Elli enjoyed her time at our hotel, because some parts of her family came to visit her and spend some time in our region. We hope to… read more

I workawayed with Wolfgang, Manuela (and Franzi) two seasons, mainly as waitress in cozy family restaurant, but also helped with diverse other tasks in the guesthouse. And I enjoyed it very much. My free time was enriching: I learned a lot about Allgau (region) traditions (even learned to yodel), tried tasty food and explored different corners by… read more

I loved every second I spent workawaying with Nicole! Jobs were diverse and some very meditative (like bunching) and time spent together was enriching as we had dinners and few tours around that beautiful area. I learnt much about aquatic farming, living in the bush and all kinds of animals. I did not wanted to leave. I will be back one day. Nic… read more

Ellie was staying with me for about 10 days. From the moment she stepped into my car, we chatted about anything and everything and got along as if we had know each other for years. That's because Ellie is a natural, down to earth person with a lovely energy. She is very easy going, a great worker and very competent and reliable. She loves food as… read more

What a superb experience that was!
That is what makes Workaway so special: possibility to meet people with whom you click right away and become friends instantly. Silvi is amazing human being with many superpowers. I definately want to be as fit as her when I grow up. And brave as her too. I stayed 10 days with her in fairylike bushlands of… read more

If you're looking for a wonderful and welcoming Workaway host family, look no further than Amanda and her daughter Scarlett! From the moment I arrived, I felt like part of the family. Amanda and little darling Scarlett were both so welcoming and accommodating, and I had a great time getting to know them both. Helping them (not that hard daily… read more

As the director of a museum led by volunteers, I feel blessed to have crossed paths with Elina. On a professional level, in only one week Elina was able to zoom in on aspects we could improve and help me focus on priorities. She made a clear analysis of our situation and shared useful tips in a very positive and encouraging manner. On a personal… read more

I arrived at this beautiful workaway, with only little knowledge about what I’m going to do there for the week. I was more than positively surprised about museum for the great work and very impressive wood carvings by Zenon Alary (you should definitely visit). This place has tremendous potential, meanwhile, Christine is a hard working, and… read more

I workawayed at Pam`s home for a week and I enjoyed every day and minute. I cleaned windows, digged some soil and had that great opportunity to brush her horses. Pam is amazing and caring person with loads of incredible stories to tell. She introduced me to province of Alberta and prairie life. I am deeply thankful to her about this experience.

Elina stayed with us for the month of September 2022. She immediately became just like a member of our family. Elina is glowing positivity and energy is pleasant and full of good conversations! It was easy to direct her to accomplish all the different tasks. She needs very little guidance, and made short work of anything thrown at her. She is a… read more

I spent a month workawaying at Beatrice`s and Mihkel`s apple orchard. That was my first workaway even I have had volunteered before in Europe. This was a perfect start for my year off, I could not wish any better. I would rename it "familyaway" because I was warmly welcomed in the family with two amazing kids, funny dogs and cats (and chicken) and… read more

I did stay in this incredible place for 3 months in 2019 and kept coming back because of the great experience it was. Now I can say I have found second family outside Latvia, in Portugal.

Most of the working time I was cooking vegan and vegetarian meals for the whole team and guests, preparing rooms for guests or cracking almonds. Or helping in… read more
