Thinking Spaces e-book

Marta’s space My space is Kuldîga, Latvia, my hometown. I used to go to that place when I was in high school to think about my future and to dream big dreams. Now I live in Riga and it has become just a tourist place where I take my friends. I am currently working as a web developer and journalist for a public policy website. This year for the first time I was teaching university students about online journalism. The furthest place I’ve travelled to is New Zealand, which is quite cool. I speak Latvian and English and understand Russian very well. I am inspired by ordinary people living in an area with its own character. Sometimes after work I take my bicycle and my camera and go to those parts of Riga, where you see time has stopped in a way – not much development is going on, but it’s full of life.
