CURRENT MISSION

Be myself, no matter what they say...

ABOUT ME

Name's Aleksandr, or shorty - Aleks, originally I am from Riga, Latvia. After I finished the school I have started studying hospitality in Switzerland. I finished 2 courses already and did a couple of internships in Switzerland and Spain (wow that was time of my life, Spain and Latin culture changed me a lot) and right now I am doing my internship in a small restaurant, about an hour from London. As of personality - I am a chilled open minded person, with a quite eclectic approach to life. I enjoy really much meeting new cultures learning from them an also sharing my knowledge and understanding.

P.S I also don't really believe that this info in this section (no matter how much it is) will give the picture of who i really am, so what the heck? Let's hang out and meet in person :)

PHILOSOPHY

Well there a lot of things you can say here, though it is very hard to express your life philosophy using a simple text, so I will just write here one rule, that I simply try to follow as much as i can: treat people the you want to be treated.
