Musician. Crazy opera singer and dictatorial choir conductor.

"And what's your real job" you will ask? Yeah, I've heard this one before.
Nevertheless almost everything I do is music and art related.

I love black humour. And tend to be quite sarcastic. Sometimes my sarcasm is so good, that people think I'm actually being serious. I am. Serious. Please don't get offended.
Melancholic-choleric.
A person with an incredibly loud and very, very high laughter. Either you love it or hate it (mostly everyone loves it). But you just have to meet me and see for yourself. ;)

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

It is a great opportunity to meet new, interesting people, get contacts and learn something new. And I would like to find couches for my travels and in return I can offer my company and show you my city.

Interessi

Music, of course. I love singing, playing piano and listening to the music (classical, rock, metal, folk, jazz and pretty much all the other kind of good, qualitative music).
I enjoy travelling, dancing, being in nature, I'm interested in learning new languages, I like art, history, philosophy, literature, massages (to massage others and let someone else massage me ^^), natural science, mythology, ancient and oriental cultures, photograph, swimming.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

I have won several contry wide and international singing competitions.
And I sang solo and conducted a choir in front of 16 thousand people before Rammstein concert at Arena Riga in 2012.

Insegna, impara, condividi

I would like to learn to say something in your language and I can teach you to say something in mine (although I doubt that Latvian will be very useful for you, but anyway). I can also give you a quick course in singing, teach some music theory, conducting and playing piano as well, if you are up for something like that.
I would be glad to cook a meal together with you and if there is enough time, I could bake a cheese cake (or any other type of cake *hopefully one that I'll know how to make* ) for you.

Cosa posso offrire ai padroni di casa

I can share some interesting stories and adventures of mine.
I would be happy to cook something for you, though probably not from traditional Latvian cuisine, because usually it's quite hard to find all the right ingredients, apart from potatoes of course. *insert a potato joke here*
But if we have enough time, I could definitely bake you a cake! I'm pretty good at making those. :)
