INTRODUCTION (TRAVELLER AND RUNNER)

in introduceyourself •  7 years ago  (edited)

Hello, everyone!

My name is Laura and I am a 23 year old student from Latvia. I love to travel and run, and in my first post here I will tell you a bit about myself and why am I here.

Firstly, my biggest hobby is travelling. I love to go on adventures, explore different places and get to know other cultures, and even though I study and have a part-time job I try to travel as much as I can. Some of the places where I have been include South Africa, India, Greece, France (Paris), Spain (Barcelona) and few other countries. My next trip is going to be in less than a month, once again to the City of Love, however, this time my boyfriend is coming with me.

Secondly, I love to run. And I run a lot, by a lot I mean 20-50 km per week. I have run two marathons – my first one was in Stockholm and the second one was the Athens Authentic Marathon (where it all began). And no, I am not a professional athlete, I do it for myself. Some use drugs, I go running. Currently, I am preparing for the marathon that will take place in the city where I live – Riga, and as well I have already registered for the Lisbon marathon which will be in October. I might add here that I have run these marathons while being on a plant-based​ diet.

Lastly, why am I here? Already for a while I was thinking about starting a blog or YouTube channel where I would share my experience, as well tips and tricks that I have learned along the way. Then one of my very good friends (here as @art.life) started telling me about this platform and the amazing community that supports each other’s creative skills, and I decided to try it out as well. I am planning to write about how to travel on a budget, how to make the most of your trips, share photos and videos, as well talk about how I got into running and how it is like to run a marathon. And, of course, I want to get to know You – like-minded people with common interests and goals.
