✨ Born and raised in Riga, I’ve explored nearly every museum here and many others across Latvia. My passion for travel began early, and so far, I've journeyed through 20 countries—16 across Europe and 4 in Asia. I’ve also studied in Athens and had a stint living in the UK, adding to my love for exploring new places and cultures. Some of my favorite destinations are South Korea, China, Singapore, Thailand, and the UK. Seoul especially has my heart! 🥰
