About Me

Originally from Latvia, but I've been traveling and living abroad since I was 18. For a while, Scotland was my home but now I've found my way to Canada and can't get over how amazing it is here!

I drink a lot of coffee and even though I've never been to Ireland I do enjoy a good pint of Guinness when I can get my hands on one.

I love adventures and getting out of my comfort zone. Fear is what stop us from achieving great things, and I'm doing as much as I can to get rid of that fear.

Graphic designer and artist by trade, an outgoing and friendly dude by choice.

Big believer in Karma!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to travel, see the world and experience it from a local's point of view. Couchsurfing allows me to link up with people who live in places I visit and offers a possibility of staying with them which can lead to amazing adventures and new friendships. Can't say no to that!

Interests

In Summer: outdoors, surf, camping, water, BBQs, beach fires and good times!
In Winter: outdoors, snowboarding, mulled wine, fireplaces, hot tubs and snow fights!

I love a good documentary, way into my Hip-Hop, binge watching Redbull TV, getting new perspectives from Ted Talks and spending quality time with friends over a cold pint!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Left the comfort of home to explore the world!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, adventures, food and beer!

I come from a family that never had a lot when growing up, so sharing has always been a big thing for me. I'm happy to do chores, cook, use my design skills for whatever you need and show off some dance moves when we're out enjoying the night life!
