CURRENT MISSION

Continuing the adventure... studying in Latvia!

ABOUT ME

I grew up in the States as a second generation Latvian (think "My Big Fat Greek Wedding", just Latvian!). Graduated from University of Pittsburgh, worked in France teaching English in a primary school in the mountains, and have now returned to the "Grandfather Land" of Latvia to continue my studies. I enjoy meeting new people, seeing new places, experiencing new things. I love to sing. My favorite holiday is Summer Solstice.

PHILOSOPHY

Independence and self-discovery is important to me. Smiling makes everything better. I'm still trying to figure out the rest...

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

One of my favorite travel moments was in Barcelona, walking along the pier. I stumbled upon a group of people performing traditional dances from South/Eastern Europe and joined in! It was challenging to try to communicate in a language I don't really speak and even more challenging to keep my feet moving along with the rest of them! It turned out to be one of the most rewarding experiences I had in my trip.

Insegna, impara, condividi

Teach: TONS of Latvian drinking songs, how to make a bad-ass guacamole, and a pretty good mixed cocktail.
Learn: Languages! Looking to learn more about wine (varieties, tastes, combinations), songs and music experiences
