About Me

PLEASE READ BEFORE SENDING REQUEST :)
*Let's start with my name :) It's very nice Baltic heritage which reads as I-E-V-A, so please please do not call me Leva, that just breaks my nerve :D
*I don´t live in Reykjavik! Not even close! Not at all! So if you stay 4 days in Iceland and want to be hosted by me...well that´s cool, but keep in mind that it takes approx 12 h nonstop driving to reach my place.
*Even though I am happy to share my views about this beautiful country, I am not Icelandic. Please delete the sentence about 'meeting the locals and experiencing the authentic culture' from your request :)
Sorry in advance for ignoring quite big part of CS requests, I simply get too many of them (yep...even while living in the middle of nowhere). I am sure that you are extraordinary personality, just might suck at writing a good request :p

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It all started as a thrilling adventure and a way to meet some weird and exciting people. This is how I met my man 7 years ago, so now I just keep paying the debt to the company :)

Interests

Contemporary arts, especially photography, video and cinema, different countries and cultures, hitchhiking, mountain tourism, abandoned places, food and drinking culture, new faces and different stories, good movie and a cup of tea when it's raining outside and few pages of a good book.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies. Something classical: Lynch, Kubrick, Jarmush, von Trier, Tarkovsky, Bergman etc. European movies (especially Romanian), Eastern production (Iran Iran Iran), South America and New Zealand...Ah good cinema has no homeland!
I can't even start talking about music...so much and wide...
Books. I am usually into some scientific stuff: psychology, philosophy, history and sociology.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

All brightest memories come from my trips - I almost froze to death under some Venetian bridge, woke up with a homeless guy next to me in Spain, got lost in the vineyard in Canaries, ran from a maniac and found the house of my dreams in Romania, fell in love in Azerbaijan, saw the most beautiful sunset in Turkey and so much more...

Teach, Learn, Share

Well I can teach you this weird Baltic language of mine and how to draw a funny snail. That's kind of it :/
