CURRENT MISSION

At the moment I'm based in Riga, so can't promise that will be able to host anyone at my hometown Ventspils..

ABOUT ME

- Ģeogrāfu Mafija - Faculty of Geography and Earth Sciences - University of Latvia

Hello everyone!
I think of myself as a very friendly, trustful, kind, reliable, and fun being around person. It can't be boring when you are with me. I'm keen on traveling around and I love to meet new people and exchange experiences between us and learn about different kind of other cultures. My biggest dream is to see as many places in this wonderful world as possible in a lifetime.

PHILOSOPHY

Hmm.. well I try to live my life as beautiful as I can. I'm not afraid of saying yes to a chance for something crazy, wonderful, completely new, unforgettable or maybe something even surreal. It's important to do nice things, to help others and to be a good person overall. What goes around comes around - that's true.

Ordinary people can do extraordinary things!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I believe I can do both - to be a surfer and a great host depending on a situation. I just love to tell people about my country, Latvian culture, historical past, our lifestyle .. and I would like to gain new friends, see other countries etc.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm falling in love with this programm. Amazing! :)
Positive, positive, positive ...

Interests

In my free time I like to go for long walks, do hiking, read books (yeah I do that), cook something interesting, meet my friends, oh and I love to go for an evening run, swim, sometimes I play a guitar and I really do love spending time with animals like walking around with a dog. I consider that the whole World is so soo incredible. There is so much to see, so much to learn, so much to taste and create and try and meet and so many reasons to smile about. I'm kind of from one of those nature lovers. Oh yes indeed.

Music, Movies, and Books

I prefer different kind of music depending on a mood and the same is with the books that I like to read and the movies that I like to watch. The one thing I'm really sure about is that I'm crazy about good movie nights with my family and friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Experiencing 6 months of au-pairing with a world wide famous band from UK - the one and only Morcheeba . Being the lucky one who worked, traveled, went on tours, shared my life and became good friends with them. Unforgettable!

And a sailing trip from Ventspils (Latvia) to Kristiansand (Norway) after season, with that I mean autumn - winter season. Just a 9 meter sail boat and a crew of two in total plus one cat. Could write a book about this, and possibly I will. Ouh nature oh mighty!

Teach, Learn, Share

As I mentioned I like to share and learn about history, culture, people's lifestyles, traditional meals, good beer and nice conversations. If I am (as a couchsurfer) interested in learning about other culture then I won't be too shy to ask a question and the same I can suggest when I will be a host for someone. Don't be shy or anything and don't hesitate for a help that you need from me. I'll do my best!
