After giving this writing prompt some thought, here are the five things I do for fun:
1. First off, gardening is definitely at the top of my list! Since I was 11, I’ve discovered that I can grow just about any plant that comes my way. It’s like my own little superpower, you know? I love spending all day outside, digging around, growing stuff, and even chatting with my plants. As I got older, my passion for gardening just grew and grew. I’ve been at it for over 51 years, and I absolutely love it!
2. Another thing I can’t get enough of is taking photos. If something catches my eye, I’m snapping a picture! I’ve probably had a camera since I was about 14 or 15. Not entirely sure when I started, but I remember really wanting my own. I was using this tiny 110 camera back then. I especially love capturing plants, flowers, icebergs, and just about anything interesting! I have so many pictures; it’s kind of wild!
3. Sewing is another hobby I enjoy. When I moved to Greenland, I figured I needed something else to keep me busy. Turns out, making quilts is super fun! I already knew how to sew from making my own clothes as a teenager. Quilting is a whole different game though, and I’m really into colorful batiks. I just can’t resist all the colors!
4. Oh, and I also love crocheting! Same deal; it lets me get creative and play with all the colors! I learned to crochet around the same time as I started gardening. These two hobbies have been with me forever! Since moving to Greenland, I’ve really gotten into crocheting—joined some groups and took part in a couple of year-long crochet-along’s. So much fun, and I picked up loads of new skills that I didn’t have at the beginning!
5. Exploring nature is something I totally adore! Living in Greenland has been a blast because I get to soak in everything this place offers. I’m completely obsessed with icebergs; it’s beyond cool to go to the icecap and actually see and touch them! It’s one of those experiences you never forget. And it’s not just about the breathtaking icecap. The air feels so fresh and pure around it, and the sounds it makes are incredible. When pieces break off, it’s like thunder mixed with rushing air. It’s intense! Each iceberg is unique, which I love too. Some are bright blue, while others are pure white with splashes of turquoise and sometimes even black streaks from forest fire soot. The deep blue ones are super old, and they’re definitely the most awesome to see!
6. And I can’t forget about my sixth favorite thing: horses! I absolutely love riding them. I miss it the most since moving to Greenland. Riding gives me that same joy that being in nature does, and when you combine both, it’s unbeatable! Trail riding through tall pine stands is my jam. You get lost in the moment, forget the outside world, and just vibe with your horse and the forest around you.
So, those are the things that bring me joy! There are other fun things I love too! Hope you enjoyed my little ramble about what I like!

Wow, 14 years — that’s amazing! I can only imagine how different life must be there compared to Latvia. What first brought you to Greenland? Do you still feel like it’s an adventure, or has it become home by now?

Love brought me to Greenland! 😉 🙂 My husband is a native Greenlander. When he asked me to marry him I said yes. He’s the most amazing human being that I’m truly been blessed to be a part of. I migrated here instead of him because of the crap immigration system my home country has. The people here in this town have welcomed me with open arms and kindness and consider me to be a part of their community now. Everyday is an adventure here but home too. I have come to realize it’s definitely where I want to be and I call it home now. When I go back to the states every other year to see my kids and grandkids, it no longer feels like home. Sometimes it feels so foreign when I do go. It’s the strangest feeling and at times I find it unnerving when I experience that. My home country is so loud and noisy too. I never noticed that until after I moved here and have been here long enough to notice. I think I’ve written about my story of how me and my husband came together here in my blog. I think I did anyway. I’ve written a lot and have been lax lately on writing due to my YouTube channel keeping me excessively busy. I am going to have to rectify that and write about things more often. Thank you for commenting too. 😉 🙂

I actually went and read your story on the About page—it was so heartfelt and moving. 💚 It’s clear how much love and courage shaped your journey to Greenland. I can feel how deeply connected you are to the place and people there. It’s funny how “home” can shift like that—how somewhere new can feel so right, while the old familiar places start to feel distant. I really admire how openly you share your experience, both in writing and on YouTube. Looking forward to more posts when you find the time! 😊
