To date, I have visited 91 countries and several remote territories. I know, I know – it is quite a modest achievement.
It is important to remember though that I have never taken a proper gap year, never quit my job to travel for extended periods and had only done limited travel before I turned 23. Nearly all my travels have been during holidays while I remained employed, full-time, in London's financial sector.
I have been enamoured with numerous countries and territories over the years, and always have a new favourite. Currently, my favourite places to visit include Chile, Greenland, Myanmar (Burma), Faroe Islands, Greece, Georgia and the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. I have also visited India on many occasions and explored Norway in depth, enjoying the experience tremendously.

Where it all began
My story began back in 2006 when I… didn't sell any of my possessions, didn't quit my job and didn't depart on a one-way ticket to discover the world. Instead, I carefully packed the modest possessions I had, took a one-way flight from Riga to London (ok, the one-way bit was actually true), found a tiny flat in Zone 3 and started my first ever full-time job. Working in the banking sector in London was a long-term dream of mine and being hired, right after finishing my studies, was my biggest achievement in life at the time. I arrived in London, all rosy-eyed and endlessly excited about the smallest things. My love affair with London was about to start.
As excited as I was making life happen in the big city, my (admittedly fancy) investment banking job got on my nerves soon enough. I was at work pretty much all the time, returning home only to change clothes and take short naps. I didn't have time for basic things in life, let alone my actual hobbies.
My biggest disappointment was of course the lack of travel. The reason I came to London was to explore the frontiers unknown, not labour incessantly on dull presentations in front of a computer into the night.
My biggest disappointment was of course the lack of travel. The reason I came to London was to explore the frontiers unknown, not labour incessantly on dull presentations in front of a computer into the night.
I have described some of my shenanigans as an investment banker in this blog (read the Monkey Business series here), but trust me: they were even worse in real life.
First introduction to travel
I did have a certain holiday allowance though and took my first holiday after about a year in the job. At a ripe age of 23, I knew close to nothing about travel and had no idea where people went on holiday. Logically, I flew to Singapore (I heard it was safe and predictable) and somehow, at a surprise even to myself, ended up embarking on a 2-week rail journey all the way to Bangkok, with stops in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Krabi and Koh Samui on the way.
The trip was a disaster in many ways: it was my first long-haul leisure trip and I misplanned and mismanaged almost everything. I got blisters from wearing flipflops for the first time in my life and collapsed in the middle of a busy street in Kuala Lumpur, unable to walk for the next few days. I got sunburnt to the flesh because I didn't know I was supposed to use sunscreen (I was a Latvian on my first sunny holiday, people). I got taken off a train at the Thai border for not having arranged a visa and had my credit card blocked just when I was about to pay for my visa-on-arrival at another border crossing later in the day. I rushed my trip insanely and spent only one night each in the amazing, well-deserving locations of Penang and Koh Samui.
In a nutshell, my first ever holiday was a disaster that left me aching, exhausted and (very literally) scarred for life. I will be writing about it in detail at some point, hopefully helping some equally naïve travel beginners as a result.
But the said trip did teach me one thing: I absolutely loved the freedom of travel. Even with burnt shoulders and aching feet, being free to explore new territories made me feel (perhaps in a pathetic way) like a deep sea discoverer back in the days when travel wasn't easily accessible to many. I may have been in touristy, well-explored, locations, but it was all incredibly new to me.
How it all changed one day
After returning to London, I sustained my long nights in the office with dreams of future holidays. Within a year, I had added Turkey, Morocco and Jordan to my list of visited destinations. I was absolutely gobsmacked by the bustling Istanbul, mesmerised by the sunsets over the Moroccan medinas and amazed by the surreal ancient city of Petra.
Unfortunately, by then I had earned a reputation, among my colleagues, of someone who prioritised free time over work (the horror!). In investment banking, this was unheard of and completely unacceptable, especially for a junior analyst that I was. Combining work and travel also became impossible in the six months before summer 2008 – the amount of work was too large for me even to take a weekend off.
Scarring that North Korean kid for life, no doubt
This all led to one inevitable outcome. While plotting my exit, I was lucky enough to be made redundant in mid-2008 (read about that very day here). It came as a huge relief: I was simply too squeezed out by all the work and could not have continued for much longer. I had started making plans to leave anyway, and the redundancy package came as a nice surprise.
Instead of looking for a new job immediately, I got rid of most of my stuff, loaded the rest into a friend's van and flew to Greece for the summer. Almost as soon as I arrived, I ended up getting together with a friend of a friend – a very nice Greek gentleman – and ended up staying for eight months. I have loved Greece so much ever since that I have learned to speak Greek fluently. The country remains my cultural haven, sunny refuge and, arguably, a favourite place for a relaxing holiday. I had a fantastic eight months exploring the many hidden corners of Greece in 2008 and (finally) getting some rest after my inhumane existence back in London.
I got so inspired by Greece during my career break that I had my wedding photos taken there years later
Unfortunately, as much as I loved Greece's food and beaches, I quite disliked Athens and could not see myself living there. Some aspects of Greek life annoyed me beyond words (read about them here – remembering this was written in jest!). And, to top it all, I had realised that the Greek gentleman in question was not going to become the love of my life. I had to take a move.
And back to London I went…
I started looking for a job and came face to face with the looming financial crisis of 2009. But I was lucky, and, after several destructive interviews (read about my worst one here), I was offered a dream job at a large international bank in London. It was a massive change from before: my hours were normal, I no longer had to work on weekends, and – most importantly – nobody interfered with my holidays (read here about my first impressions in this job).
Fast forward almost nine (nine!) years, and I am still working for the very same bank. I have always maxed out my holiday allowance and have visited countless places since I returned to London (I try to explain my travel planning in detail here). I got married in the Falkland Islands to a wonderful Englishman (read about our experience here). I camped under the milky way in the Namibian desert. I took a helicopter ride over Greenland's glaciers. I rode a dog sled in Svalbard. I hiked the vast beauties of Patagonia. I left no stone unturned in the fantastically welcoming Turkmenistan, despite the country's stern reputation. I visited North Korea, Bhutan, Iran and Iraq. I have truly had a wonderful life since I started my current job. And I am not finished yet!
I got married in the Falkland Islands… in that very windbreaker!
I hope I will encourage many of you to take that first step towards a first serious travel experience, hopefully to become a regular traveller in due course.
I hope I will encourage many of you to take that first step towards a first serious travel experience, hopefully to become a regular traveller in due course.
I find nothing in life as fulfilling as travel and hope to inspire many to lose the fear of the unknown and explore the world.
I also hope to prove that it is not necessary to quit one's job to travel actively and regularly. Granted, I am incredibly privileged to have a job with a decent salary, a generous holiday allowance and only limited pressure to leave it unused. Sometimes, however, it is mere excuses that hold us back from travelling, even for a weekend away – and it is important to overcome those to make our lives just that much more fulfilling. Even venturing away for a weekend in a well-known location can be enough to recharge batteries and learn something entirely new.
So stay along for the ride! Feel free to refer to my Frequently Asked Questions for more information about me. And do get in touch with any travel questions – I will do my best to respond!

New colleagues won't stonewall Jackson's views
The distress of Robert Jackson's friends deepened yesterday as he was paraded in public by New Labour agents.
Mr Jackson, who went missing from the Conservative Party on Sunday, was displayed on the Labour benches at Prime Minister's questions, dressed in a red tie and grey, double-breasted suit.
The convert, or captive, or whatever he was, made repeated attempts to address the House, but failed to catch the Speaker's eye, leading all those of us who are worried about his mental state to fear the worst.
The dreadful possibility had to be faced that Mr Jackson was already starting to regret his defection to New Labour, and was hoping to take his guards by surprise and issue what is known as a "cry for help".
The poor fellow failed to join in the cheers with which loyal New Labour backbenchers greeted some of Tony Blair's less amusing remarks, and instead seemed pained. Could it be dawning on Mr Jackson that he has joined a society compared to which North Korea is a beacon of spontaneity?
Mr Jackson was flanked by two burly minders: Andrew Smith, the former Pensions Secretary, who will have told him that years of loyal service to the Blairite regime often go totally unrewarded, and Paul Clark, one of the dreaded whips who enforce party discipline. We could not actually see Mr Clark's whip, but we knew it was there, and so, undoubtedly, did Mr Jackson.
At lunchtime yesterday, New Labour stooges denounced the Speaker for having failed to call Mr Jackson during Prime Minister's Questions. This suggests that they had expected him to rise to his feet and acclaim the Prime Minister: not so much "I'm all right, Jackson", as "You're always right, Blair".
Then the dramatic news arrived that Mr Jackson had returned to the Chamber and was preparing to speak on farming.
He duly rose, just before 6pm, to deliver what he called "my maiden speech as the first Labour MP for Wantage". Much of his speech was delivered in a tone of Olympian detachment: "Over the 25 years in which I have been interested in the politics of the rural economy, while much has changed, much has stayed the same."
Mr Jackson, born in 1946, said he is just old enough to remember Tom Williams, Minister for Agriculture in Attlee's Labour Government after the war.
His favourable recollections of Tom Williams suggest that even at the age of three or four, the young Robert was displaying socialist inclinations, and last night Mr Jackson issued the following declaration: "I observe that British farmers have nothing to fear and much to hope from a Labour government."
These loyal remarks - loyal, that is, to his new party - made Mr Jackson's peroration all the more surprising.
Having remarked that he has "a perhaps undeserved reputation for speaking my mind", and again praised Tom Williams, Mr Jackson said: "Some of this heritage of rural goodwill has been forfeited by the hunting ban."
Mr Jackson said he very much wants hunting to continue, and reckons it will: "I believe a way can be found for the honourable traditions of the countryside to be preserved."
It is often said this is Mr Blair's own view, but it is certainly not the view of the great majority of Labour MPs.
Can it be that Mr Jackson has embarked on a suicidally dangerous mission to preserve foxhunting by sowing bitter enmity inside the party that wants to ban it?
The man lacks common sense, but he does not lack courage. He is an MP who says what he thinks. We could do with more of those.

Week In Review A Look Back At The Top Stories From The Last Week
Sun., Oct. 12, 1997
Attorney General Janet Reno was not amused last week when White House aides turned over tapes of President Clinton attending White House coffees with donors the day after her department concluded there was no need for a special prosecutor to investigate the president. "Where the White House has a responsibility to produce documents, it's very, very frustrating when they are produced in a delayed fashion," said Reno.
Republican members of the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee felt much the same way, with Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., accusing the White House of "clear-cut obstruction" in not producing the tapes sooner.
The videotapes themselves offered little new evidence to illuminate whether Clinton broke any laws by entertaining donors in the executive mansion, but their sudden appearance after months of requests and denials has put the White House in some very unflattering light.
Come and get it
Enter Harold Ickes, the former White House deputy chief, whose long-awaited testimony on Capitol Hill came right at dinner time.
Sen. Fred Thompson, R-Tenn., committee chairman, tried to tie Clinton to a criminal conspiracy involving illegal fund raising for the head of the Teamsters union, but was forced to retreat in the face of White House documents refuting his charges.
"If you've got to eat crow, or half a crow, it's better to do it warm than before it gets cold," Thompson said.
Meanwhile, Ickes seasoned the dish with unrepentant glee.
"The committee's virtually exclusive focus on Democratic fund raising … serves a partisan, not public agenda," Ickes told the committee. "If President Clinton and Vice President Gore had not won re-election, it is unimaginable that this committee, and its counterpart in the House, would be conducting these particular inquiries."
Ickes said that Democrats played by the rules and challenged Republicans on the committee to change the laws if they don't like them.
No reform
Ickes' comments came as the Senate Republican leadership was crushing an attempt to change the rules and curb the influence of big-money contributors in political campaigns.
The McCain-Feingold bill was declared dead Tuesday by Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. "It is not going to pass today, it is not going to pass tomorrow, it is not going to pass ever," he said.
The prize
An American and her campaign to ban land mines around the world won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday, instantly adding momentum to one of the causes Princess Diana championed.
The prize - endowed a century ago by the inventor of dynamite - went to Jody Williams, coordinator of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines. The Norwegian Nobel Committee said Williams had transformed "a ban on anti-personnel mines from a vision to a feasible reality."
Boris Yeltsin promptly pledged his support to Williams' cause, announcing that Russia would sign a global treaty to ban land mines.
That leaves the United States and China as the only major countries to refuse to sign the treaty banning the export and use of anti-personnel mines.
Peace, who needs it?
Not content with a deadlock in peace talks with Palestinians, the Israeli government appeared intent last week on undermining relations with its closest Arab neighbor.
King Hussein of Jordan said Wednesday that he told Israel two days before it sent hit men to kill a Hamas leader that the militant Islamic movement was ready to consider a dialogue with Israel.
The failed assassination Sept. 25 led to the capture of two Israeli intelligence agents and their subsequent exchange for Hamas founder Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, who was released from an Israeli prison and returned to Gaza in triumph.
The king's comments appeared to reflect his continuing anger over Israel's decision to launch the assassination attempt on Jordanian soil just when Israel had the chance to end the threat of Hamas attacks.
Jordan signed a peace treaty with Israel in 1994 and has remained its staunchest Arab ally.
