CURRENT MISSION

To see and discover as many new cultures as I can

ABOUT ME

i enjoy traveling alot, whether its around this country, or others. I also enjoy languages. i am not really fluent in any languages, but i can speak german, latvian, Russian and swedish, and a little spanish. i ride a motorcycle as my main source of transportation, so if you see me chances are i will be passing you :) i enjoy doing adventurous things or random things at the spur of the moment, be it climbing crazy rocks in death defying feats, or taking a road trip across the country. I am very open to meeting all types of people regardless of religion, ethnicity, etc. which makes couch surfing all the more exciting for me

PHILOSOPHY

I believe all people are important and loved by God. I am a Christian but I accept people of different faiths or those who have no belief at all. in fact i want to learn as much as possible about other people, what they believe, and how that affects their lifestyle. if you want to know more in depth, ask me over a beer! :)

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted, I've surfed, I've gone to CS meetings

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had the chance to surf a few times, and host a few times so not a large amount of experience. however, i did stay with a random russian family in Omsk, Siberia once for four days which was just like couch surfing, but i didn't know about it then.
