About Me

Well, I am a super active, keen on learning anything new person. Absolutely in love with traveling and exploring new things, usually like traveling alone backpacking to simply be able to have an epic getaway.
I am quite easy-going, quickly adjusting to new conditions, love meeting new people, know more about their culture.
I am up to any sports events and I get absolutely crazy about dancing. Learning languages and writing is my passion.

In short about my origin and current status:
Born in Latvia, Riga; studied Asian Studies back in Uni which led me to an opportunity of getting first scholarship for Chinese language. That's how I moved to China in 2010, did few years of studies in Chinese International Education, worked as an English Teacher; eventually in 2014 opened up a consultant and trading company importing food in Nanjing, which I sold to my former partner in 2016 and left China after 7 years.
I lived in Argentina and currently i enjoy living in Prague with my family. We now are about to move and consider every spot of the planet Earth for moving and making it our new home :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I must admit I have no particular preferences in music, movies or books.
I'd say I mainly listen to rhythm neither to the words of songs. I quite enjoy listening to alternative rock and art rock though.
Same for movies, but here I like more movies based on real stories and I am not really fond of fantasy or sic-fi.
Books - anti utopia it is.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every time I travel around, there is something amazingly crazy I've done.
I'd say skydive in New Zealand, scuba dive in Egypt, backpacking with a fractured ankle in India, creating business from scratch and still putting up with living in China.

Teach, Learn, Share

Anything, Everything, Always with a positive energy only

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hm...my coffee machine for the mornings and nice bed for the nights.

But hey, also lots of advice on my current city Buenos Aires and Argentina overall. Argentina is not as easy to travel as you might think, so good advice or reliable people are always of a great necessity here!
