Hi, cou-cou, buongiorno!
I'm Marta Viktorija, a young artist from Latvia.

Shortly about what is important to me and how I see life :

Experiences I enjoy most are traveling, music, nature and people.
What I look for is beauty, sincerity and some connection, the 'x', the ' ' what you do not have words for. Some would say it's being in a right place and in the right time, some call it the divine appointments which of the two is closer to how I perceive the world and reality.
What makes me happy and what I'm passionate for is seeing people finding and living what is their 'thing' or way of being, what gives them joy and what is the unique contribution they can give to others. I am happy to have friends who do so and inspire me for that as well.
What I want to learn most is a lot of how to's: how to love, how to give, how to overcome hardships and manage difficulties, how to do art, how to have faith, how to communicate.

It's already quite late at night, so I struggle to come up with a joke, but I do enjoy a good laugh, too. Though mostly I just smile, nod and say "oui", because I'm now in France and am trying to learn some French.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

vendange (but that's 3 things)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to show around and take old and new friends to my favourite places.
If you are interested, I can share and try to help with anything I know and have learned about art, both theoretically and practically.
I like different kind of systems. I've been researching personality typology systems like Myers-Briggs (the one with 4 letters for each type, for example INFP, ESTJ etc.) and Enneagram (the one with numbers from 1 to 9), though I think I've might have forgotten quite a bit by now, I can still give a summary and sharing is always a good way to refresh your knowledge. I can also explain the basics of Marie Kondo's methods of sorting and organizing things (this one is much harder to forget :D)
I might take an analogue photography of you.

Creativity, God, art, dance and movement, society, literature, cinema, photography, nature, wine, food and cooking, plants and gardening, psychology, outdoors and hiking, philosophy, aesthetics, fashion, style, music, geography, anatomy, health, holistic living, business and finance, politics, nutrition and physiology, basically a list of most topics I can think of I'd love to learn more about and educate myself/get educated at.
