The question "Where are you from" is one of the most difficult for me. I'm a citizen of the world living between Europe and Asia. Originally I'm a Latvian guy living in Budapest, lived in Bangkok, London, Moscow, and travelling around the world.

I'm a friendly, genuine, honest, interesting, uncomplicated &straight forward, well travelled, easy-going & open-minded guy. Like to have a good talk and relaxing time in a nice company. Love new experiences. Looking to meet new people, locals and foreigners, while traveling and in my city.

I like taking photos and post them on Instagram: www.instagram.com/deniss.gl

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've recently had an amazing motorbike trip to the mountains on the North of Thailand and to the Golden Triangle region. This is where Thailand, Laos, and Burma meet at a wide bend in the Mekong River. Not so long ago that area was considered the most notorious territory on our planet. Opium drug lords, rebel armies, and gunrunners operated here with impunity, far from any government’s control.

Today, things are quite the opposite. All the bad guys have been incarcerated, killed, or fled. The Golden Triangle has reverted back to its sleepy and pastoral existence. I just rented a motorbike and visited hilltribe villages situated high in the mountains, stayed at lodges among tea and coffee plantations, spent time on the highest mountain in Thailand. That was such a great experience!

Teach, Learn, Share

Would love to learn about different cultures and others talents!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to meet new people and talk to them, get to know them and hang out. For me every single person that comes to my house or I meet is a new fascinating story I wanna know better.
