CURRENT MISSION

Step by step in the tracks of dreams.

ABOUT ME

Life for me is full of heights, constant moving and creation. There are things i wish to talk about, things i'd like to be heard, so i've found stage and the language of contemporary circus to give my thoughts and feelings forward. In a way this is what my life circles around, the never-ending artistic research. I believe, the more i experience, the more i have to share with my audience, more to understand and tell. So i travel to meet people, cultures, nature and then take this with me to turn into creation.
Not to sound too serious though, my heart is open and full of joy and excitement to share adventures and the greatest treasures of a human being, happiness and love.

PHILOSOPHY

Gratitude and forgiveness. Each experience is a lesson that makes us richer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been couchsurfing in Latvia, Italy and France. Mostly i've been fortunate enough through circus to have connections all over Europe, so i don't couchsurf too often, but at times i really prefer meeting so to say "normal" people, as my everydaylife is filled with people who earn their living swinging in heights or throwing objects in the air. I've had really great couchsurfing experiences. One good plus is meeting people from fields that you otherwise might not meet. The other and i think most important plus is meeting a place through the eyes of locals. I think as a tourist with no local connection you can never really get the essence of the culture you've met.

Interests

As my hobby has grown to be my job, there's not too much space for other things, but i do enjoy creating and expressing myself in any matter. I love adventures, visiting places i've never been to, getting lost on purpose and letting the place introduce itself to me. I love exploring nature, taking long walks, hiking and bouldering. Also enjoy a lot just sharing, stories, thoughts, experinces. And cooking! Always up for vegetarian food-recipe-sharing!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Performed in a Latvian forest inside a wooden chapel with live music on cello and piano, combining poetry in Estonian and Latvian, exploding colors, shadowtheatre, and nets... the most amazing piece i've ever created and that can never be repeated.

Teach, Learn, Share

Just as something worth doing now during winter time: at least one snowangel a day - it looks beautiful, might give you a kick out from comfort zone and you can have a look up there...it's the easiest while lying down :)
