About Me

20 years old student, living in the beautiful city of Lausanne in Switzerland. Grew up in Riga, Latvia. I'm interested in lots of things - international politics, history, anthropology, contemporary art, different kinds of music, literature (mainly 20th century), winter sports, traveling, improvisation acting, drama and theater, and even science. I try to find something interesting about and understand everything I learn. I adore learning how people see things and trying to see them that way too. It inspires me, and, I believe, gets me to a better point of view of what this world is all about. Generally I have a very curious mind and I'm quite restless in my adventures and discoveries.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people from different cultures, to have more possibilities to travel, which are not limited by finances, and finally to understand the world better by having the chance to visit new places.

Interests

Music, art, literature, physics, world politics, philosophy, science, culture, ice hockey, winter sports......basically I find something interesting in everything. :)
Running and taking long late night bike trips to the seaside.
Playing piano
Getting lost in a city I've never been in before...

Movies - Meet Joe Black, Theory of Everything, Shutter Island, Inception, A beautiful mind, Imitation game, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Into the Wild and so many others
Books - I like different genres and kinds, but for now I'm most interested in works of Albert Camus and Jack Kerouack.
