I'm an adventurous Latvian high school student who is eager to learn about other cultures all around the world and share mine. I enjoy studying foreign languages, especially Scandinavian languages; I like also cycling and walking around the city all day long. I might be a bit shy at first, but I open up when I feel more comfortable.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that Couchsurfing is the best way to connect with local people. It's a great opportunity to get closer to local cultures and also share your homeland's culture and traditions.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been working voluntarily in different kinds of events in Riga since I was fourteen, and so far the events I enjoyed the most are Riga International Film Festival (RIGA IFF), European Choir Games, World Choir Games and Latvian Song and Dance Festival.

I also repaired a 70 years old bike that my granddad had brought home from Siberia.

Teach, Learn, Share
