CURRENT MISSION

make the turn

ABOUT ME

I was born in Riga and have lived over there the biggest part of my life. it is still the city where my family and a lot of friends are. At the moment I live in Eindhoven, The Netherlands- flirting with design. Before that i was a full time fine artist and thought it will never change, but...never say never:) Well, in general i think, going with the flow and not being afraid of unexpected turns is my way of being.

PHILOSOPHY

Believe in good, take a risk and don't be afraid. Find something to laugh about, even if you(i)want to cry!

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new in this community, but i have friends who are hosting a lot of people and it is always a great experience. At the moment I am in Riga hosted by my parents, but if anyone comes to Riga, to show around would be my pleasure:) My next plan is to go to Sao Paulo, so I hope to find someone to show around over there:)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

till now my couch surfing experiences have been outside this network. Often i host my traveling friends and friends of the friends. When I travel myself I like to meet local people. If there is someone who can host me- even better:)

Interessen

life is my major interest and everything that is related. I am open to new experiences and chalanges make me very happy. The field of my professional interests (fine art, design) often merge with the rest and it is very hard for me to draw the line. Anything can be realted with the work i do and another way around.Important is that things in bigger perspective makes sense.

books....i like to read but hardly can find time doing it, cause if i start to read i like to do it from cover to cover non stop! One of my all time favorite writers is Marcel Prust. I like to read also books abot philosoply and psycology, cause humen are the biggest mistery to solve.
