Name: Laura Age: 19 Where from: a small village somewhere in Vidzeme, where pine forests reach right up to the houses, and in the mornings all you can hear is birds singing and the wind rustling through the trees. Personality: calm and a little reserved on the outside, but inside — a real hurricane of dreams. She grew up in silence and close to nature, so she values sincerity and cannot stand fuss. She is stubborn and determined, because to make her dream come true, she needs to be strong. Her quiet smile hides a will of steel. Dream: She doesn't just want to travel. She wants to experience everything: the noise of Asian markets, where the air is thick with spices; the dry heat of the Sahara sands; the lights of endless metropolises where life never stops; the silence of mountain peaks, similar and yet different from the silence of her forest.
