CURRENT MISSION

Doing grown-up stuff, but longing for hedonism

ABOUT ME

I'm a quite lively person (that can still appreciate contemplative moments of silence very much;)) I love to discover new stuff, to learn interesting things about the world, to improve my skills in any way and meet new people! It's always a great opportunity to open up your mind a bit more!

PHILOSOPHY

Gaining wisdom- I think you can find contributions to it every day and every time if you are just open to it - and I love to share this process with other people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I had a few CS experiences in Canada, Israel, Latvia and Jordan - all of them were lovely and I started to apreciate this idea more and more. It's always surprizing and exciting!I feel deeply connected to the concept of sharing homes and places to stay.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed Eduardo's couch just when I came to Toronto- it was wonderful! He's a very nice host and until today we meet sometimes to chat or to go to the cinema. I really appreciate the couch surfing opportunities.

I surfed Adam's and Nadine's Couch in Ottawa. I felt so welcome there, that I got very upset when I was about to leave. They are wonderful people!

We met Greg, Ed & Dom in Toronto and had many very funnys evenings together.

We stayed for a few nights in Yonathans crazy-cozy house in a hidden backyard of central jerusalem.

Housni hosted us for a night in Amman, showed us one of the few beer-houses and we had a wonderful dinner.

Inese gave me and my friends a spare room in her apartement in Riga and showed us around in the City.
