Friendly, curious, maybe a bit too serious for my age. I am a person who likes to
reason about things. Trying to savour the pleasures of life, not just live it. My motto -
imagination, determination and perseveration - the three traits of a successful person.

I guess that I am a bit “guilty” about all this thing – because while being an EVS
volunteer in Georgia, I got the idea about youth exchange project called “1st Record In
Your CV”. I work for a charity organization and I now that donation of your time and
knowledge is the most valuable donation ever. Besides it benefits all involved parts!

About Latvia:


Latvia is one of three sisters – Baltic countries that lies on the shore of Baltic see.
Small, green and growing country. Latvia has been independent only a bit more than
20 years so most of the things there are just developing – the same with understanding
of voluntary work and its benefits for all society and each individually.
Valmiera is the 8th largest city in Latvia, located 100 km North-East from capital
Riga. Valmiera is famous for its “main street” – river Gauja that divides city in two parts and for Vidzeme University that makes Valmiera a real student city.
