Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Hosting and surfing myself when I feel like doing so.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
This project has made me a better person, helped me to grow and taught KINDNESS, for sure!
It has also taught me to be sensible, respectful towards our humane differences.
There has been some amazing moments I will never forget where CS idea/people have been involved to a greater or lesser extent.

Music, Movies, and Books
At the moment I am all tuned into conscious parenting literature.
Movies - good, factual, rely on tastes of my friends and choices of film festival organisers, BalticPearl and Tribeca. Same for music.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Latvian sauna or pirts with people who know how to take sauna! Amazing, almost spiritual experience.
Hitchhiking in Arizona to Lava tubes and smoking grass on top of million year old craters.
Anglesey Island in Wales on a stormy day. I almost wanted to become an Ocean.
Black out on beach after a festival and woke up because a seagull was staring in my face.
Visiting my childhood's dream place Capri.
Teach, Learn, Share
things that I can teach you/share would be bits of forestry, timber cruising, surveying and gardening, and scavenging wild food in temperate climate. Technical drawing and figure drawing are also familiar.
