I come from Latvia.
Started to work as accountant, but I try to put green thinking in my work too. I worked in Nature NGO where I worked in finance , but also I had big project on my own. It was waste paper project and competition “Greener class” for 836 classes. 448 schools joined and 1800 tons collected. Lot of saved trees!
I took any chance I could to join my fellow colleagues - ornithologist, botanists in their expeditions and visited nature spots where many ppl are not even allowed to go. It was amazing experience. I even helped to ring baby eagles!
Now I work less in NGO, but still participate and donate from my new business. Still collect waste paper in my company and invite others to do that.
In 2010 launched my own shop for people with large size feet (www.largesizeshoes.eu). For about 1,5 years I work mostly remotely - from home, while hiking, sometimes during travels. Now I want to try out real digital nomad lifestyle at least while it is winter in Latvia
I like nature and spend time in nature. Like to travel around Latvia countryside. Few times a year travel around Europe. I like reading, go to cinema, board games and spend time with my friends. I like to make presents by myself, put my heart and hands in it, so I learn different thing to do it, like - knitting, engraving, pyrography, decopatch, making candles and other things, I always want to try something new.
And I love to play games, not computer games, but offline games - party games, board games. If have some at home and I go to different board game events to play and to meet new people.
I live my life the best way I can. Trying to make less harm to nature and hoping that people after I left this life will remember me more with good than bad. Can’t call myself dog or cat person as I like all animals, even snakes (if they don’t bite me ) and bugs (again - if they do not bite me
). I even have huge picture of hermit beetle on my wall - very rare species we tried to protect in first project I started to work in Latvian Fund for Nature.
