I'm an open-minded, energetic and optimistic person. Apart from my job, I have a number of hobbies and interests, for instance, dancing salsa and other Afro-Cuban dances, running, attending theatre, making candles.
I am a well organised person and like organising things, however I always find it interesting and tempting to do something spontaneously.
I love nature, my friends, exploring new places and experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Having lived in several countries and having gained quite an extensive international experience, I have become addicted to international environment. Hence, I am always willing to meet new people in their home cities as well as welcome them in Riga and contribute to their travel experience.
