About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Looking for a new flat

ABOUT ME

Some people might say I am awesome. Could be. Some people might say I am impossible and stubborn. Can't disagree, but who cares what people thinks. I just know that I am green thinking, planet saving, animal and nature loving person, also I am vegan.
When You catch me in a party mood, don't expect me to leave dance floor until the dawn. I love adventure challenges, movies, music, books, art and all the amazing things that can take my breath away.

PHILOSOPHY

Open yourself to the world and let it in.
What goes around, comes around.
Good people brings out the good in other people.
Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet (B.Marley)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I signed up for Couch Surfing for truly practical reasons - I was traveling and I wanted to do it as cheap as possible :) But after my first Couch Surfing experience in Brussels, I see this community, this amazing project in completely different light. This is the place where complete strangers become a friends in one moment. This is a place where hearts and minds are opened.
With opening doors of my habitation I want to participate in making world better, 'cause "as you sow, so shall you mow" or call it karma :D

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first and very best CS experience was in Brussels. And it was so amazing, funny, exciting and friendly that I even couldn't imagine that it can be so great. I even had my first Couch Surfers meeting. In two days I met a lot of amazing people and I hope I will meet at least some of them again.
Update:
A Q from Ilker, when we were walking through pretty dark street in Riga to see Art Nouveou: Are You kidnapping us? :D
I really love to tell people who are visiting Riga about this wonderful city and this country. And showing ofcourse is important...

Interests

Reading, movies, sewing, starting to have an interest in anthropology, ecology, environment protection.
Kind of into adventure challenge: brake through pathless woods, falling into river, stuck in mud, "fly" over the river, swim in freezing water, walking and bicycling tens of km through woods, meadows, swamps, clearings etc.
I love to practice Yoga

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Something pretty shocking and increddible at the same time - Bottellon in Granada, Spain.
Alhambra (Granada, Spain)charmed me.
Alpujarra region In Sierra Nevada took my breath away.
Delirium Bar in Brussels- the best bar i have seen in my life
General strike in Barcelona a bit scared me, but I felt adrenaline running through my veins. Spanish people for sure are bit crazy, but i love them :)
Dinners made by CouchSurfers - exploring different cuisines- french, chinese, unknown and others :)
Notes saying Thank You from CouchSurfers! Always gives warm feelings.
Crazy polish truck driver (on a hich-hiking trip to Germany)who was living on very strong coffee with 4 spoons of sugar, litres of energy drinks and dozens of cigarettes, but actually was kind of awesome :)
