2017 and 2018 are the celebration years for the entire Baltic region. Our neighbours - Lithuania, Estonia and Finland - are also celebrating their centenaries of statehood. Finland celebrates its centenary on December 6, 2017, followed by Lithuania's 100th anniversary of restored independence on February 16, 2018, and the centenary of Estonia's statehood on February 24, 2018.

I’ve been travelling ever since a was a child but my first large trip was at the age of 13 when I was sent to live for a couple months to London. This trip has changed me and ever since I just want to see more and more of our beautiful world. Every trip gives me new emotions, charge and strength to keep going further.
