Hi my name is Kristine. I am a traveleler from Latvia, based in Porto for past 6 years
I am an easy going, modest girl crazy for adventures.

Moved to Portugal to search for work back in 2015, ended up living here!
In Porto I work as an architect and recently started and Airbnb experience, giving guided tours to the visitors.

My philosophy:

Everything you want is on the other side of the fear.

Jobs will fill your pocket, adventures will fill your soul.

I'd rather live a life full of "oh wells" than a life full of "what ifs".

Pass: portoisthebest

Live your life by a compass not a clock.

If people were meant to stay in one place forever, they would have roots instead of feet.

Every cloud has a golden lining.

Dare to live the way you want.

Less talking more doing.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

To avoid any confusion I will be very straight forward.
I am a happy lesbian and I am not looking for any dates(from any gender)!

If you are however interested to learn more about me and share some nice moments, I would be happy to grab a coffee or taste local foods :) Otherwise I am very independent and prefer spending time alone :)

I will only respond to requests from people that have read my profile and included the pass mentioned below!

Centres d'intérêt

I love mountains, the sea and sunsets in any combination and order.

I care for animals and nature and I only eat fish.

Writing, Photography

Craft beer, wine occasionally :)

I do a lot of activities and sports in my free time.

I do yoga, gym, running. Would love to try new sports!

Teach - how to pronounce the most difficult word in latvian, things about my country and things about architecture. And bunch of other stuff I Google daily hehe!

Each person knows a bunch of things that you don't, that's why I like to listen!
For example would you know that Riga has 700 000 inhabitants which is almost 1/3 of all Latvia's population?

I spend time making my profile and I would love the cs to do the same when making requests also to avoid some kind of misunderstandings ;)

I can share my company, some meal together a cup of tea or coffee maybe ;)

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

Funny stories, deep, conversations
I can bring a souvenir from Porto, if you wish
