You are welcome to stalk my facebook profile untill I gather some reviews, my name and surname combination is unique, luckily :)

I’m from Latvia, I’ve been living in UK for 5 years.
For 3 years now I’ve been a support worker for people with ASD and/or disabilities.
Before that I’ve done bit of everything until I found what I actually love doing.

At the moment I feel I need to do some trawelling to recharge my batteries :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think the best way to tavel is by staying with locals and learning from them, wandering the streets and generally just exploring and questioning everything.

Music, Movies, and Books

A bit of everything please ^_^ mostly alternative.
Every genre has it’s gems.

I’m one of those who grew up with Linkin Park seemingly singing straight to my soul. I do love the last album too, even if my inner headbanger was a little thrown at first.

I have a soft spot for everything involving brass- ska, some jazz, any random pop song with a good trumpet-y bit.
I have never heard a real bluesman play live, that is something on my “ must do” list.

My guilty pleasure is 80s teen movies - underneath the fabulous/atrocious clothes, great soundtracks and pretty often dark humor there’s such depth!
My favourite is “Heathers”, It’s hilarious in such a dark way I haven’t seen in any modern movie.
One documentary I can watch hundreds of times and still get the goosbumps at the uplifting ending is Metal. A headbangers yourney.
Also grew up constantly waiting for the next Harry Potter book, and then devouring it in 24h after release. I’m a massive fanfiction follower, I’m constantly looking fir the next gem.
One if my favourite authors is Lucy Maud Montgommery.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sometimes my jokes are funny.

But seriously? I can’t tell. Every life is amazing and insignificant at the same time :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can cook a great cottage pie, or whip up a sponge cake.
I’m a crafts person who thinks outside the box, I don’t mind helping out with chores( I really enjoy ironing).

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’ve been told I’m a good conversationalist.

My cooking skills are somewhat questionable, but every self respecting Latvian knows at least 5 -7 ways to preapare potatos :D

I’m also a good listener :)
I can teach you knitting or crochet.
