Hello! Finally it’s summer in Latvia. I am sitting in my garden in the countryside watching how beautiful nature is in summer. It is such a good feeling! Incredible, a year in the  Rural Youth Europe Board has passed unnoticed. A year ago I went to the European Rally 2014 in Wales, UK and didn’t know that after few days …

Last week, when I found in my mail box postcard from all European Rally 2015 participants, it made me feel incredibly happy. That, of course, reminded me how much I miss all the fun that you can experience only in events like that. Every time I go to RYEurope event, I know that I will… …meet young people with similar …

"Hand in Hand – Creat our land!" – This is this years slogan for the European Rally! At this very moment I am sitting at the lakeside somewhere in Austria enjoying the outstanding weather and I was suddenly wondering. In exactly one month from now we will hopefully enjoy the nice weather and the unique landscape with our lakes together …

Many think horses live only only on hay/grass, but that is not the case. There are many factors to take into consideration when choosing feed for your horse. How much is the horse exercised? How old is it? Has the horse had any kinds of illnesses before? These are a few questions that need answers when choosing the right feed …

I am walking across a pedestrian. Around 1000 asian looking people are walking next to me, light flashes everywhere and loud advertising music sounds from the speakers of the big advertisment screens which are located in front of the windows of first few floors of the skyskrapers. Around 500.000-800.000 people pass this crossing every day. The place where I am right …
