Overview
About Me
I am very kind person, who likes to smile a lot. I am a bit shy, but despite it I like to meet new people and get outside my comfort zone, it helps me to grow as personality.
Usually I travel with my husband. We are friendly, joyful, non-smoking couple.
I like dancing salsa, reading books, psychology, concerts, theater, mountain hiking, nature and spending time with my husband&kids.
I am more listener, not talker. And I don`t like small talk, I love meaningful conversations. I don`t talk very much, but when I do, it it always with the meaning. And I really enjoy listening to other people` life stories.
For four years I have worked as freelance journalist and writing is my passion. My dream is to write a book someday.

Music, Movies, and Books
When I work, read or study I want to concentrate and I don`t like background music. But when I drive or just rest, I like to listen to music a lot. Also I like to attend concerts. I like not only to listen but to really feel musicians. My favorite bands are U2, Depeche Mode, Robbie Williams, Coldplay, System of a Down, Incubus, Kings of Leon. Also I like Latvian music a lot - Brainstorm, Elza Rozentale, The Sound Poets, Dons, Linda Leen - they all are great :)
I like to read books, but I wish I would have more free time for reading. As I have 3 years old daughter, the books I read most frequently are fairy tails :D But in my free time I like to read about psychology, neuroscience, nutrition. Also I like historical novels.
