For almost 15 years, I used to play ice hockey every day, but a lack of talent and skill pushed me towards education. Papers say I'm an ice hockey couch and manager. Managing is more my thing, but I am not working in that field for now.

I'd like to think that I'm not the shy type of person. Communication is one of the best ways to get smarter, excited, inspired, etc. I like new experiences, stories, and much more of what people usually can offer. So far, I've had so many great experiences while traveling, and I'm seeking many more.

I'm a responsible guy, funny, and sometimes smart as well, and I always clean up after myself. I'm honest and almost always ready for adventure.

In the middle of October (2017), I started to complete my longtime dream and goal—to travel without time limit wherever my eyes take me. Shortly before the trip, I decided that I'd choose a bicycle as a transport. So the first country I explored was Germany, with 6/16 counties. Then I got to Spain and did the most of the Mediterranean coast, from Barcelona to Malaga. Probably around that time, I got bitten by the "Travel Bug." :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There are so many opportunities in the world, and traveling has the power to fulfill you. But what is traveling without great people who are willing to welcome you into their home and spend time with you?

You get what you give, so be a giver, and good things will happen.

Interests

Sports
Active lifestyle
Learn something new (music instruments, languages, martial arts, scuba diving, surfing etc.)
Traveling
Languages
Sky diving

Besides all above I like to try local food, hear differences between my and your culture and I really enjoy jokes and humor as most as possible.

In spare time I like to see city streets and local people lifestyle as I haven‘t been to many countries besides those who are near to Latvia.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Had no scratch after a car rolling, while I was sitting at the backseat in lotus pose with no seat belt on.

Started my "Eurotrip" with bicycle after I graduated university

Cycled ~185km in 2 days near Rhein (biggest river in Germany) - amazing route (Cologne-Koblenz-Mainz).

Worked as a public and sport event organizer, project manager, and volunteer in dozen of public events.

Hiked in the mountains close to Nerja (Spain) which ended with a ~5-6km walk down the rio Chillar.

Worked in Tokyo Olympics as a journalist.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some Ice hockey moves/skills/techniques or any different sport - I've done most of them in university.

I used to work at bar, so maybe I could shake up few cocktails as well.

Or I can share stories about Latvia (land, history, culture), eastern/northern Europe, my travel experience etc.

I'm open to learn something new.
