A month of walking along the sea shore / Article / LSM.lv

This is a date in itself – this is what entrepreneur Dagnija Lejiņa says about the march along the sea coast from the Lithuanian border to Riga. After a difficult spring, it took time to take a break and the young woman decided to walk away from all the accumulated stress. She goes alone, sometimes she is joined by friends or acquaintances, she searches for accommodation again every day and relies on coincidences, because it is more exciting to live.

Dagnija Lejiņa started her journey to Riga with 10 kilograms on her back exactly 3 weeks ago at the Lithuanian border in Nida. “Then when I say I go one month, 500 km alone, I am amazed and I wonder why, or because of that time, kilometers or because alone, but I think it’s a combination,” notes Dagnija.

Dagnija is an entrepreneur. This spring, as for many businesses, proved to be very difficult and challenging. The volume of work and the company’s turnover decreased sharply. “One choice was to stay in Riga, creak, get angry, but the other was just to take time only for myself and I call it my own month, it’s a month for myself, it’s a wonderful trip, but mostly such a wonderful date for myself and all of them. people I meet, “says Dagnija.

Previously, Dagnija had gone hiking, both a few hours and a few days here in Latvia and many parts of the world. However, this road is the longest and longest. Dagnia doesn’t have a tent or sleeping bag with her, nor has she scrupulously planned the whole way for days and hours.

“Part of that adventure is not just walking along the sea, which is beautiful, every day a completely different sea – its color and smell and that view, I would say it’s better here than on any French Riviera, but the other part of its journey is those people I meet in the middle, I stayed at the hotel only the first night and then rely on the hospitality of my relatives, friends, acquaintances and accommodation along the way and it is definitely the second adventure, “says Dagnija.

However, of course, there are some things that must be considered. “One is shoes, the most favorite, the most comfortable, the best, probably the ugliest, but the main thing is to be comfortable, then sticks, help me, along the beach, then maybe less, but if mountainous, then very, especially in the last kilometers, so a fraction of a second really in addition to the strength of some delicacies, chocolate, nuts, to have enough energy and to be able to reward yourself, “explains Dagnija.

For those who are thinking about a similar adventure, Dagnija recommends looking at jurtaka.lv. There you can choose already planned routes for a day or two, or for a longer period of time along the Baltic coast. “It’s harder to mature for that idea, but when you start going, you just rely on the road and everything and everything will happen 39 + 5: 51 very important to give up, very important to rely on and look for chance in life and they also like to maximize 00 because there is also its a taste of life, “says Dagnija.

Dagnija plans to get home in Riga in the beginning of August. But on which day exactly – it is impossible to plan.
