My Travel Story

Carnikava Camping recently purchased 4 hectares of Wild Forest and Grassland in Latvia next to a river. They are looking to preserve as much of the existing Wildlife and plant life as possible but also create a space where we humans can co-exist and feel part of that natural habit that we ourselves once lived in.

Latvia has always drawn my attention to the country. I feel like it has so much history and culture and it has been silenced all of these years or simply not given the proper attention. With that in mind, I feel like doing something as small as bringing a completely abandoned area back to life will not only give me an immense feeling of self-accomplishment but will also do both parts wonders.

Since I'm a Masters' student enroled in the field of Conservation of Wildlife,
it would be like killing two birds with one stone (not meaning it literally because I like those little ones).

If you can't help, I got to thank you so much for letting me put my passion out there for the world to hear!

*For some reason it says that my Paypal account is yet not verified on this website even though I followed every step they asked me to. If you'd kind enough to send it directly to @valteran or rafa_scp@hotmail.com on Paypal I would be forever grateful, since I have no idea if the campaign is allowing me to receive any donations in here.*

Just someone trying to give back.
Yours truly,

Rafael
