I am a Agnija Kazusa from Latvia. I am a journalist, blogger, writer and youth worker.I hold a Master degree in Communication Science from the University of Latvia. I started my career as a journalist and worked for the most influential newspaper in Latvia, "Diena". In 2007 I worked as a chief editor for the local newspaper of my city, Lielvārdes Ziņas (Lielvārde News). In 2009 I ventured for Egypt where I taught English and did some youth work. In November 2010 when I returned from Egypt I realized that I would like to pursue a creative writing career. I started writing my first novel “Three Cups of Egypt” in Latvian which I am currently translating into English. I write both in Latvian and English. I have created my blog traveltotellthetale.com where I post travel stories from all over the world. They usually tackle such issues as gender equality, social inequality, integration, intercultural dialogue and others; the blog also serves as a platform for listing all my publications and activities.
