Very energetic, open-minded, spontaneous and adventurous. At the same time, (if required) very responsible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For the most amazing opportunity to meet new people, share meals, lifestyle tips, new experiences, to make awesome memories, get out of comfort zone and expand overall life horizons :)

Interests

In my free time I do sports. Latin Dances, ballroom dances. Currently deeply engaged in Pole Fitness. Used to do yoga.

Favourite topics to discuss would be travelling, movies, music and different cultural differences.

Love reading! For the past years have been reading loads, so I can offer some interesting opinions of things :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It is hard to just name one, since the value of things done are determined by so many different criteria.

I've done tons of incredible stuff - celebrated the coming of new millennium in Lapland, and New Years of 2001 in the highest spot in Bangkok, been at the top of Mont-Blanc, went on an exchange year in Germany, rebelled against the system’s wishes and took a chance to live by myself in Spain etc.

But if I simply must choose one, then I'd say that I finally made a decision to live life by my rules and no one else' s. Still adjusting though, but haven't felt more alive since then.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Russian, English, Latvian language, as well as teaching some ballroom dance moves.

Lately, I am keen on learning as much as possible about human psychology, business, Pole Fitness, but these topics change as seasons do. There is too much to do in so little time, and I am just trying a little bit of everything at a time, and seeing what works for me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Loads and loads of travel stories, cultural tips and great time.

I laugh a lot, so there would be a lot of positive energy.
