Hei! I am a Latvian girl living in Oslo. I am passionate about environment and outdoor activities, storytelling, reading books and explore new places. I love contrasts and dynamics. With that attitude I easily adapt and enjoy any settings: from a hectic urban life to tranquillity of Nature, from a comfortable bed to a sleeping bag under the open sky.

I had travelled and lived in 8 countries and have an endlessly curious mind to explore new cultures. I am a keen learner of new perspectives how others see or experience the world. I love to listen stories, especially travel adventures or autobiographical memories. In own unique ways these stories and people inspired and shaped also my life and me.

I am new to couch-surfing, but had been loyal to hospitalityclub.org for more than 10 years ! :) I would be happy to meet community of couchsurfers, am excited to meet you and share great time in your city!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet new people in a new place - and couchsurfing offers it both! and I absolutely support the idea of welcoming spirit rather than paying for hotels. I had hosted myself many people from various countries, who became my friends, and I feel very lucky and appreciate all the moments we shared! I look now for more adventure :) and this seems like a right place!
