Hello.
We are a young family of 3. We live in Latvia / a small town called Upesgrīva. We moved here around 2 years ago from our capital Riga. The reasons are simple:
To be totaly honest: this is the place where I grew up. So its not like we are complete city people [although my wife Jana is from city Kandava]. But its not like I grew up in a farm with animals as wel. I know some basic stuf, but if I compere thing that I learned on internet and things that local people know then I haw to say "thank God for the internet".
So, what are we planing to do here? We had a lot of ideas. The main idea is that this small town is daying and we whant to turn it back to life again. It's located next to a gulf of Riga, and it has a wery lovely beachside. Plus there are wild / old forest all around the place. I think this place has a huge potencial for turism. That was our first idea: we could make a small camping and a bycicle rent. Rebuild old stable's second flor and make some rooms there. I'm obsessed with an idea about wine making. So I whant to make my own wine company. Sounds wery nice but there is one prolbem- money :D. So we are taking it slow. First step: I need to get some steady job / income. I made some nomey with crypto trading and now i'm living of of that. Second: we need to clean up the place. This property is wery old and it's full with all kind of garbige. I already cleened up a lot, but there is still a lot to do. We whant to plant apples, cherrys, black curant and other stuff all around the property, but since we are living next to a gulf, our soil is wery bad - it's mostly beach sand. I have an idea how we can improve that, but it is gona be diferent / more in detail post.
By far I just whanted to say "HI!" and get this STEEMIT thing going. I heard about steemit a long time ago. Since I was bloging and making videos before a friend of mine recomended me to start a steemit account. I whanted to do that from the wery begining when we started working here, and document everything, but somehow there was never time to do that. Now I made a rough sceduele and try make regular posts.
If your interested in subjects like: zero waste, farming, wine making, country side life style, you know what to do.
Have a great day today.
