About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Hiking in Croatia upcoming in august 2018

ABOUT ME

Well, I'm not very good at writing those ''personal descriptions'' as you will see below.
I would like to say that I'm friendly and awesome person but really that's for you to decide. I get along with others easily, I'm social and I love to meet new people. I wouldn't call myself shy or quiet I'm more like funny and humorous person.
I am open minded and very liberal and I try not to judge anyone. I have my opinion on things but I never try to present it as the only right one.

PHILOSOPHY

It's not about the destiny, it's about the journey.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I've been only surfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Until now I only used CS for few times when I needed a couch to rest my head on. And I met some really nice people and had a wonderful time.

Interests

People, music, traveling, life, new experiences - that's for short.
I'm lazy and I could sleep all day if there's nothing better to do and I can't sing. At all. So no karaoke. But I love dancing. And board games. And poker.
I enjoy being in nature, hiking, biking, swimming, taking long walks in fresh air. On the other hand there's drinking coffee or sipping vine in some local cafe or small pub.
There's a few places that I would like to see in every town I'm in - local pub, local marketplace, some history related or open-air museum and if there's any beautiful landscapes, mountains (love them), cliffs and hills - that's my thing.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Everything Is Illuminated, Stay, Requiem for a Dream, Vanilla Sky, The Shawshank Redemption, The Dreamers, The Sound Of Music, Trainspotting, Velvet Goldmine, Dorian Gray and many more.
TV series: Californication, The Big Bang Theory, Game Of Thrones, Black Books, Dexter, Rescue Me, Skins, My Name Is Earl
Favourite writers: Kurt Vonnegut, Erich Maria Remarque
Music: Songs and genres I listen pretty much depends on my mood. Mostly it's alternative/indie/rock or electronic/ambient/drum an bass kinda stuff but it can be folk or metal as well. It's hard to think about one favourite genre or artist, cause like I said - its a mood thing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing place I've seen so far was magnificent underground caves of the Moravian Karst in Czech Repubublic.
Hitch-hiking through Great Britain was also a unforgettable experience.
Another great experience I've had is when I went bungee jumping with my awesome friends.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share knowledge about my culture, teach you some latvian language if you're eager to learn. Me and my flatmates can introduce you with gastronomy of our homeland and we can make some traditional style dinner.
