ABOUT ME

I work as a free lancer in museum mediation, trying to teach kids and youngsters to see world from different angles. I've started with the art museum education and now I work with different museums. The environment of the good exhibitions can make you to catch sight of things you´ve never notice before and helps to combine logic and creativity to make your life more exciting and happier. at least I think it is so.

PHILOSOPHY

admiring the life

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I used couchsurfing opportunities traveling together with Sergei (Sergeich_est) to Greece(2007) and Israel(2008), both times going though Riga. We have also hosted a number of people as you can see in Sergei´s profile. I just decided to make my own profile :) but the place for surfing is the same.
We have a little daughter by now and expect to meet people who accept family routine. If you want to be hosted by our family, please send greetings to my daughter Maria in your message ;) It is the clue that you´ve read the profile.

Interests

Kids and their perception of world.
Actual and contemporary art, watching, listening and reading fairy-tales and other peaces, listening to the music and people..
