This year’s Latvian Independence celebration motto, "Mana Latvija — mana atbildība," resonates with me so much. To be a lover or a hater — you choose.

My mission in life is to make the world around me better. I defined this purpose some time ago, based on the things I have already done.

I believe that each of us can pay attention to the good things around us and try to highlight them — that’s the concept behind the notboring project and my life in general.

No matter where I am, it will be good there, because I take myself and my attitude with me.

Happy Independence Day! 🇱🇻

I am obsessed with these map countours. Join tomorrow Independence day slow-run (6.20). Distance: 11km. More info is here.

I spent my summer vacation week in Pāvilosta. Since I was there alone, I wanted to choose the safest and most comfortable place, so I decided to book at OTTO.

It’s a beautiful hotel with a good breakfast included in the price. They have a pool, UV lamp, small yard, and a lovely terrace. I love the design and the clean spaces, which are very important to me. The service was also great, which is a rare thing here in Latvia.

Today, they have 50% off for bookings from January 1, 2025, until June 21, 2025, with the code OTTO.

Unfortunately, this isn’t an ad; I just paid for my room there. But if you know someone at OTTO, please let them know I love the place!
