About Me

CURRENT MISSION

enjoy every day whatever it brings :)

ABOUT ME

hm.. I am an open-minded, sociable and friendly pers...

bla bla bla...

i guess we all are friendly, sociable and open-minded if we have a profile on CS. something a bit more personal? uhm. I am generally happy and self-sufficient,

i like being different. or, more like, i like the fact that i can be different. sometimes i enjoy an evening with a bottle of red wine, being thoughtful and having an interesting conversation about society, history or what have you.. other days partying crazy in some random bar until late morning :) or a cup of tea and a good movie.. or painting some stuff on canvass :) i'm up for many things and like deciding spontaneously :) also my hair style/color tends to change frequently. Blond-red-orange-lila-green-black-brown-short-long-straight-curly - been there, done that ;) Short dark brown now :)

I love people. Seriously. first of all, my beloved people - friends and family - they are awesome! I mean it. Having found these people, maintaining the relationship no matter what-where-how long-why and spending time together - makes me happy :P
Also, people are just amazing. amazing in the sense that it is exteremely interesting to a)meet new people, exchange ideas, challenge your views etc b) ..and to observe. isn't it fascinating to see how the humanity has developed, why, what for and what sick and not so sick things societies had adopted? Well, it fascinates me :P

something i like doing a LOT is traveling. lllove escaping the everyday life, exploring new places and meeting new people :) what could be more refreshing and life promoting?

i guess my biggest problem in life is a lack of sleep - there are just too many cool things to do rather than sleeping ;)

PHILOSOPHY

it's up to you what you make out of your life. if you want to have an exciting and happy life - just have one :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

just moved to Berlin a few weeks ago. not quite yet at the stage of hosting. write me if you are really really desperate and we can discuss, i guess ;) otherwise, coffee and drinks at the moment...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

hosted and surfed :) so far so good :)

Interests

I like socializing and meeting new people - it's my source of energy, inspiration and a way to relax.

I love traveling, so whenever i have free time and some free money i take my friends and go on a trip. so far every trip has been an amazing experience and great memories.

other than that, i like arts in its various forms (been to arts school for quite a few years), marketing (hopefully my future job), reading books and just not doing anything from time to time

Music, Movies, and Books

when it comes to movies it really depends on the mood, but overall i like movies which evoke thoughts, reflections, discussions.. but a cheesy non-brain-involving comedy on a Sunday afternoon would also do ;)

music - indie, rock, punk rock, jazz

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every day is pretty amazing bringing new experiences, ideas and thoughts :)

Went on a Eurotrip with my friends - crossed 11 countries by car (Switzerland - Latvia). Was amazing to realize once again just how many different cultures are there in Europe within such a (relatively) small space

Went backpacking through the Balkans for a month. Absolutely loved it! so many beautiful places, amazing people, rich culture and history! It was the first time I was traveling alone for such period of time, but definitely not the last!

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Germany, Greece, Italy, Macedonia, Montenegro, Russian Federation, Serbia, Turkey, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In

Germany, Latvia, Switzerland
