Hi! I am an easy-going and sociable lad from Latvia, currently planning to stay in the Netherlands for an internship. My favourite things in life are: reading, writing, making myself look smart by talking to people using big words, and doing sports. Tend to be on the clean side and regularly come off as a polite person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As it turn out that finding a room to rent around Amsterdam is pretty hard, I am looking for a place to stay while an opportunity arises for me to come upon my own little corner.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Built my own translation company from scratch. Was a fun and challenging experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

Recently I have taken up teaching English to various levels. Therefore, I can be of use in this matter. I want to learn Dutch, which I started to have a go at and am looking for opportunities to improve.
