When:28th June 2018. Where: Līgatne, Latvia Description: The sandstone cliff rocks that glisten golden, reddish and grey in the sunlight formed from sand and clay sediments accumulated by flowing water. Over the time they settled and compressed, forming these majestic and robust cliffs! Roaming the caves and pressing your palms against the sandy walls, you can imagine how the ancient people bustled in this underground labyrinth. This unusual place has been a saviour of many generations as it provided a storage space for the necessary provisions. The unchanging temperature in the Līgatne cellar caves makes them fit for food and beverage storage. Instagram: @samucis18 and @samucis_pictures

My DiscoverEU travel pass was delivered on Monday. I'm so exited and I still can't believe I am one of those lucky who got it. There is one problem, I'm still now sure what to visit because I heard train reservation is expensive in France (Yes I need to pay train reservation myself. Same with bus from Latvia to Poland to get to Interrail) so I changed my mind about France and Portugal. And I won't go to Greece since I'm going there with Erasmus+. But I'm open for any suggestions, travel tips and even if someone offer to host me and my classmate. Stay tuned for my travel posts and follow me on Instagram and Twitter for travel stories and reviews about places and what I saw😊 Instagram - samucis18 Twitter - SamantaZl18

When: Today 23rd June 2018 Where: Cēsis Description: I did it. I ran "Skrējiens Jānis un Jānītis" today😃 I feel so proud of myself. I know 2km is not that much, but for me it is. At the end when I started to run up hill my lungs were hurting so bad I thought I'm gonna collapse there on road, but at the end I found my last breath and streinght and ran till the end. On the road everyone was cheering and motivating us, even police officers. I feel proud of my self and hope to run again in August Twitter: SamantaZl18 Instagram: samucis18

Today I run 1,31 km. I know it's not much for some of you but it is to me. My lungs and heart just can't take big distances for now, but I hope I will be able to run longer distances in future😃
