About Me

Hey there!
Currently I am a student of the Stockholm School of Economics in Riga, studying Economics & Business. I consider myself to be a very open-minded and active person, since my interests and hobbies were always very wide: sports, music, health, science, travelling. In fact, I've been a professional track-and-field athlete for 10 years. Now I devote the biggest part of my time to studies since career development is my priority.
By the way, I tend to organize and plan everything, consider any tiny detail in my life. BUT, for instance, I was going to study medicine (and had been preparing for that for 2-3 years), but then went to economics and business :D. A little bit of chaos is also present in my head (or not a little, if one knows me well). But that's awesome - to make something unexpected and great, unforgettable.
Books, music, movies, sports and travelling are the things that motivate me and inspire. Exploring the world and meeting new cultures is how I would like to spend my time and money (student money :D, currently), since "The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page"!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is the first time I am on couchsurfing.
I tend to consider myself an introvert, person, who is never bored by being alone. And that is a challenge to me to be here - to share mine or to use one's home, become friends just by sending a request. But I believe that the world is all about amazing, open, easy-going people that can share not only their accommodations, but also knowledge, experience and simply positive energy. And I would like to step outside my introvert-comfort-zone and to meet all these people. Because I've realized that people can motivate me too, they can share something amazing from their stories and background.
