I am a mother to my little angel - 1 year old Mara and a wife to my lovely husband Rihards.
Besides being a full time mum, I am also a student of Finance and Accounting. My husband Rihards is a windsurfing instructor at his watersports activities centre here in Riga. Therfore we spend our summers in Latvia, but winters in the Alps where he is working as a ski instructor. Between the seasons we have some time off which we prefer to spend travelling.
We've been to a few countries before we had a kid and nothing has changed after that. We strongly believe that kids are not a reason why you should stop travelling, but the right opposite. We started to travel with our little one when she was just two months old and so far we have been with her to 12 countries.
In October we are starting our road trip across the US. On the way we would love to meet some open minded and friendly people with whom we could share our travel stories and our culture.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I enjoy travelling and meeting with new people, getting to know their culture, passions and views on life.
I've been to Couchsurfing since 2012 and had such an amazing experiences.
Here is my old profile - https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/liene.veinberga
When I was travelling solo, couchsurfing seemed the right option if you don't want to see just the touristic staff, but really get to know the country and the locals there. I also had a good companion, who would show we around, introduce to his friends, give some advises and with whom I could engage in good conversations.
Last year while we were travelling with the little one we stayed mostly in hotels and airbnb rentals. It was ok, but I always had a feeling that something is missing from my previous travels. So we decide to give a couchsurfing a try as a family. We would like to show our little one what amazing experience you can have while staying and hanging out with people from other countries.

Intereses

Together we share a passion for travelling, especially to some exotic places.
My (Liene) passion is dancing. I've been dancing since I was 5 years old. I started with our traditional Latvian dances and now I'm dancing Latin dances. I also enjoy running, as it gives me a great feeling of freedom and motivates me for my next challenges.
My husband (Rihards) is interested in watersports and skiing. He is Latvian champion in windsurfing in Raceboard class.
