Hey guys and gals!

My name is Elvis and I'm originally from Latvia - however, I've lived in the UK for 15 years.

The more I learn, the more I can relate, the more I understand and the more I feel. In essence, I adore the process of learning. I'm a very passionate person in regards to how I learn - literally about everything. I enjoy seeing things from other perspectives, and very much enjoy deep conversations.

I'm on a spiritual path of mindfulness and enlightenment. I believe meditation is key to many problems. I'm attentive and always willing to learn and share experiences!

I tend to travel a lot, which means meeting up with so many awesome people. I think through couch surfing, it's an awesome way to do that!

My biggest passions are Photography, Psychology and engaging in extremely philosophical conversations. (I'm also a daredevil, but you'd have to see my YouTube to understand) - I'm an outgoing and kind person. (or so I've been told) - I am absolutely always up for an adventure or challenge, or just to chill and relax.

I studied health sciences and became a fully qualified personal trainer. I also run a photography business. (www.elviseurii.com)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm using Couchsurfing to explore and find other likeminded people whom would be up for showing me around the area and hanging out! You don't even have to be likeminded, I just love learning about stuff and sharing ideals morals, goals, life in general! Oh plus, I always take my camera everywhere with me so I'd be getting some incredible shots of you if you wanted! (I'm pretty good)

Music, Movies, and Books

I find the art, joy and passion in literally everything. I enjoy all music forms, movies and books because I see the work, effort and meaning behind them!

Although, just for efforts sake;
Heavy Rock/Metal - Pierce the Veil/Disturbed
CloudKid / Mix of house music / Classical and Acoustic.

Movies, practically anything Medieval or anything to do with Astronomy such as Game of Thrones and Intersteller. I extremely enjoy watching documentaries too, especially if I'm smoking pot.

I spend most of my time reading non-fiction. Books about reality, astrophysics, quantum mechanics, philosophy etc. I think you get the idea.

Currently going through:
- Food of the Gods: The search for the original tree of knowledge.
- The Universe in a nutshell.
- 12 Rules for Life.
- Interpretation of Dreams.
- Waking up

I've got awesome recommendations, just ask!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I suppose it just depends on what you mean by Amazing.

2 years ago, me and my mother Waltzed together for the Cancer Research Ballroom Dancing Competition. The group of us raised over £30k for the charity. Not only did we achieve the highest ever sum donated from that event, ever, but me and my mother won the Waltzing competition, and came 2nd in the whole event out of 30 couples. Let me know if you want to see the video!

Separately, I achieved what I dreamed of achieving on my birthday. (You'll have to ask me about it)

Teach, Learn, Share

Because I feel so passionately about literally everything, I'm always willing to share the skills and knowledge, as well as learn as much as I can. (Learning is my favourite thing to do!)

If you're a photographer, we can both head out and create all sorts of content! Take a look at my photo album!

If you look at my interests above, they're all stuff I'm quite genuinely passionate about. Not just thrown in there for the sake of it!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I mean, you get to meet one of the few people in the world that dangle from cranes and do handstands on the edges of skyscrapers for fun!

Jokingly aside (not really ;P ) - I can share a good laugh, good moments and beyond good adventures. Memories to cherish.

- Any information on fitness and health. Exercises classes and even train together!

- Yoga/Balance lessons, I can teach you how to do a handstand and a few other balancing moves!

- Photoshoots / Videos and can teach the basics! Want to get some awesome shots of yourself whilst we endlessly wander the city and mountains? You got it!

- Want to learn how to speak Latvian? Well, you wont in the time you know me, but you'll definitely know how say a few words!

-Binge watch anime! If you watch anime, now this is something that we'll definitely be discussing all night long. 😎
