ABOUT ME

People say I'm nice.

I like singing, sweet corn and taking photos, hope for a big change of the world, make funny sounds, love Latvian and Ukrainian language and trust people.

I am a discoverer, a fighter and a small stubborn donkey. And I´m a bit of a little wolf as well. Rrr! But very friendly and quite fluffy.

PHILOSOPHY

The harder it is to change something, to switch life from stable daily rhythm to something new, the better the result will be.
Or at least this feels like a greater achievement than an easy change or no change at all.
So doesn't really matter why - anyway it's nice.
