ABOUT ME

I am intelligent (or should I say intellectual?), I enjoy fine arts and photography. I practice yoga, also have wide interests and many hobbies, like music, play guitar. Rather quiet person, I try to be in harmony with myself and to make it pleasant for others to be with me. I like to explore new things whether it be new places or new culture. I have lived 2 years in the USA so I speak quite good English.

PHILOSOPHY

to live in harmony and to live a good life.
ars longa, vita brevis

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I meet good and open-minded people thru CS, makes me feel more open myself. I want to keep up this feeling! And sometimes it is good to travel together.
Thanks for the warmth of all CS people I've met, and special thanks to Valencia group!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Discovering first photography, then painting and then yoga was pretty amazing for a guy with mathematical background like me. But actually, any moment of being connected to your deeper self, to the world and to other people is amazing, whether on a deserted Latvian beach, or in a yoga teacher's kitchen in India, or in a winding street of a Greek town. I continue to look for such moments :)
