CURRENT MISSION

On a little eurotour, just been to London and Berlin, now in Prague and heading to Copenhagen and Stockholm before back home to Riga.

ABOUT ME

The world is my oyster, and I think anything is possible. I don't need luxuries to enjoy myself, but rather a tent, a road, and a camera. I want to hear stories, and I want to tell stories, and to experience the privilege of being young and unbound, to see and hear and feel and taste as much as I can before finding somewhere and someone to tie my heart to.

PHILOSOPHY

I've found that being kind to people really is a little bit addictive. And also, I believe we should hug more. Hugs relieve stress. There is too much stress in the world. Breathe in, breathe out. You're beautiful.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I'm available for drinks and adventures in Riga. In the near future I will be able to offer a couchspace, but not just yet.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Most of the couchsurfing I have ever done happened about 18 months ago, when I was backpacking Europe. I was usually staying for a night or two per city, and the hosts were always overall lovely people, offering me and my travel partner to have dinner with them, or a guided walk around town. We were happy even for floor space in the cluttered livingrooms, having only received confirmation from a couch a day before our stay in the town.

Interests

Besides travel, I enjoy live music, almost any kind, although rock is prefered. I'm passionate about cinema, photography and keep telling myself I should read more. I really should.
