Overview
About Me
I am exuberant, friendly, I like talking a lot and telling stories, but I like listening and learning too. I think life should be an adventure. In every new city, architecture is the first thing i stare at, but I also love nature and walking/swimming/biking and I appreciate the interior design of bars. And I love books. But most of all i love the sea and the beach. I would marry it, if woman and geological formation were allowed to mate.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I am a travelling junkie, but I haven´t had the opportunity to do it to a satisfying extent so far. I would like to be part of a community of people who share the same ideas about travelling: not just sightseeing, but connecting with people, listen to their stories, take up their recommendations, showing them the places you liked.
Not in it only for the free couch, as i always like to have a backup plan (tent?), but it´s always a plus. That and i like taking in a wayward traveller, having a reason to cook, that sort of thing.
Some of the best people you meet unlikely, by accident, far away from your comfort zone. And they stick differently with you

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Went to Latvia on a whim to do my Masters Paper on the ruin of a military riding arena from Russian Empire times (Karosta, Liepaja) just because i fell in love with the building, even though i knew nothing about it and it was risky. I lived in Latvia for 3 months and managed to do a great documentation with the help of wonderful people at city administrations and heritage funds.
