About Me

Hello everyone! :)

We're a family of four with a passion for adventure, travel, photography, and making lasting memories together.
Our diy campervan is our home on wheels as we journey through Europe.

We originally come from Latvia, a country known for boasting the widest waterfall in all of Europe.

Our Journey:

Our family believes in the beauty of the open road and the joy of discovering new places.We always seek new adventures and things we haven't done before. The passion for photography is at the heart of our travels, and we're eager to learn about business along the way.

What We Love:

Photography isn't just a hobby. It's our way of supporting our goals. If you share our love for photography, we'd be thrilled to exchange tips, tricks, and stories.

In addition to photography, we have a growing interest in the world of business. We're eager to learn from entrepreneurs and business enthusiasts

Exploring hidden gems and off the beaten path destinations.

Connecting with locals to learn about their culture and traditions.

Outdoor adventures like hiking, scrambling, and scuba diving

Our Travel Plans:

Our campervan is always on the move, and we're excited to meet new friends along the way. We're in the beginning a year-long journey across Europe. We began our adventure in the UK and have set our sights on exploring the captivating cultures and landscapes of Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, and Croatia in the coming months. If you're open to hosting a photography-loving family with a thirst for business knowledge, we'd love to connect and see if our paths align.

Whether you're interested in hosting our family, sharing photography tips, or discussing business ventures, feel free to send us a message. We're looking forward to making new friends, learning from you, and capturing the beauty of our journey together.

Music, Movies, and Books

When it comes to music, we're a bit of a mixed bag. Our musical choices are as diverse as the landscapes we explore. The DJ duties often shift depending on who's sitting in the co-pilot's seat of our van.
As for books, we're big fans of self-education, business and anything related to photography.
We have a little library tucked away under our van's seat, ready to surprise you with our favourite books. Got any book recommendations? We're all ears!

Family movies are our jam, but we haven't had many opportunities to indulge in them lately due to our travel schedule. Nonetheless, we're always up for a cinematic adventure when the chance arises! We usually are up for any genre that promises a good laugh or an epic adventure!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While it may not seem extraordinary for adults, there's a remarkable adventure that's incredibly special to us – we hiked up the highest mountain in England as a family.This achievement was particularly momentous because our daughters, aged 5 and 7, embarked on this challenging journey with us.

Our youngest daughter had just turned 5 when we undertook this adventure, and it took her a remarkable 8 hours to ascend and descend the mountain. It's truly impressive for such a young child to conquer such heights with determination and perseverance.
Our kids, as well as us parents, couldn't be prouder of their accomplishment.

This experience taught us the power of family unity and the resilience of young spirits. We've learned that even the smallest members of our family are capable of incredible feats when they set their minds to it. It's a memory we cherish and a testament to our shared love for adventure and the great outdoors.

Teach, Learn, Share

We can teach you photography techniques, from composition to post-processing.
We're happy to share our Latvian heritage and learn about your culture. We enjoy trying local cuisines and can share our favourite recipes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A willingness to share our photography, travel, and business expenses

A hand in household chores and upkeep.

The joy of our kids' laughter and curiosity, always bringing smiles.

Respect for your space and privacy.
