I am 36 years old female from Latvia and I live in countryside with my husband and daughter in Latvia.

I was studying geography in University of Latvia because I am interested in environment and now I am working as self-employed project manager and do projects in my NGO in Koknese, Latvia. Website biedribasolis.lv.

You can see our travel stories in my blog celojumudienasgramata.lv.
We travel with our child, even when she was just a year old. Usually we travel on low budget, sleep in tent or in car or campings.

Our craziest journey - 1000 km by velo from Latvia to Slovakia and back. And together with our 4 years old daughter. :)))

My love belongs to:
-family
-hiking in mountains
-travelling
-creative writing (fantasy)
-photographing
- reading (I usually read 50-70 books per year).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like travelling and I believe that the best way to get to know other cultures and places are only by commucating with locals and other people who comes from those places. I also want to share my knowledge about Latvia and Baltics, about our customs, traditions, attractions and values so everybody can truly enjoy my charming country - Latvia.
