CURRENT MISSION

to travel as much as I can while obtaining masters degree in architecture

ABOUT ME

I am easy going and open minded person, passionate about snowboarding, books and architecture. Sometimes I am working too much, but I try to get out in nature as much as I can. Also a pint of beer or glass of wine with a nice company always is a good choice!
Right now I am enjoying my stay in Rotterdam.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

CS is most amazing social platform I have seen around. It is great opportunity to meet open-mided people, learn from each other and share your knowledge. Couchsurfing is making the world a better place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

First CS experience was in August 2009 in Paris. Lucie was a great host!
I also hosted Johanna with her friend in my place, we had a good times in Riga. Then I surfed few more times in Poland, Italy and Switzerland and that's almost it!

Centres d'intérêt

I'm interested in experience. I believe that experience is what makes a personality, opinions and even architecture. But about that we can talk tete-a-tete.

In general, I would say French culture in particular (maybe because of my background - 12 years in Lycee Francais de Riga), music, snowboarding, architecture.
