Feminist, artist and just an epic Russian.

I am a 20 yrs old girl from Riga, Latvia. Gradueted from RTRIT college this year with a diploma of Tourism and recreation organisation programm. Had a course of Graphic Design in Calarts University, and now looking for a course about Scandinavian Television and Movies.

I am working at Rigas Ritmi Festival, which is a large Baltic and European jazz event, as a Russian language editor. So, in case you can play trumpet or sing as a jazz diva, take your chance at Riga Jazz Stage 2016 ;)

I spend my freetime making art (drawing/painting/crafting/designing), reading, watching good old movies (bring me some Bergman and Hitchcock!), listening to music (jazz, classic rock, ambient and ethnic eclectic), taking photos, learning languages, archery, playing video games (TES series like Skyrim, GTA 4/5, Hitman and Assasins' Creed), cycling and just meeting new people.
I love animals. Have two cats called Watson and Momo and a dog called Timothy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
