About Me

ABOUT ME

I could just write the cliche story about how "friendly" I am, how I have a "magnificent" personality you know the standard slot filler. But better yet I just write 3 sentences telling you I'm not writing anything here, though it is true and I'm no meany. I guess I am what one calls a honest person. Not too much of those left around, huh?

PHILOSOPHY

Fuck it

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Back in the summer of 2010 I went hitchhiking with a friend around Europe. From Riga we took a plane to Bremen, Germany (because my friend had this stereotype about Poland being the most dangerous place on Earth, her loss because now I can definitely say that Polish people are freaking awesome)
Bremen marked my beginning in the couchsurfing world. We stayed for 3 days with an amazing host and even went to a terrific housewarming party. Our next stop was in Amsterdam where we understood that emergency hosts are Gods way of saying I will randomly find you the most fantastic person in this city! From our 4 day stay in Amsterdam we went to Paris and just chilled there for a week with the weirdest dentist I have ever met. And in a week he came to visit us in Latvia. This is the super short version of a 16 day trip. But my first steps into the world of couchsurfing were amazing!
