I am ambitious and currently laying the foundation to fulfill my ambitions. My main thing that I do - I create value. I strive to create inspiration and to help others as far and wide as possible.

I was born and raised in Latvia, Riga. At the age of 18 I started my own company. At age 22 I closed it down and moved abroad, it was in this time of my life when I learned how ugly life can become and how suddenly it can disappear. Even more so I learned how important it is to realize that you have far more options at any given time than you can initially see and so I made it one of my goals to bring people the perspective I have now.

This got pretty dark pretty fast, so here is something more positive: I am sitting at a computer from 3 years old. You could basically say that I grew up with (some may even say "in") the internet. One of my favorite past-time activites are video games. I love video games like people love art, because I find the immersive and magical universes equally appealing whether i'm reading a book or playing a video game.

Okay, now we're back in neutral. So here is something more positive - I love being in nature. I love fishing, riding a mountain bike across trails, feeling the smell of a lake during sunrise, seeing the view of a forest covered in snow, the sound of a woodpecker in the distance or old trees cracking as they bend in the wind or even simply the serenity during the morning hours in a city, when the dust and fumes have settled and you feel the electricity of the fresh air combining with rising noise of other people commuting to work when the sun is barely above the horizon. I've also participated in fair chase hunting for a few years as a chaser.

Other things I love? Dogs, cooking, content creation, music, spontaneity, sincerity, humility.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I wish to broaden my circle of friends and I love to travel, so why not do both?

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I saved 2 small baby European Hedgehogs from a busy city street, fed and cared for them, since sadly their mother was not found during days of searching. So the decision was made to carry them to the countryside and to release them back in the wild once they have grown big enough to survive on their own.

They escaped the little wooden cage I made for them, by digging through the ground and under it only to return on the first day of spring next year. I literally shed a tear that they braved their very first winter in the wild. They actually returned this year with a third one, which is just amazing.

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

A positive, free atmosphere, because I am tolerant and flexible. I hate to be a nuisance to anyone and I am very self sufficient. I can also share a good story or two, jokes and a good meal.
