I am a university student who similarly as most people here is extremely passionate about traveling and is slightly addicted to the emotions I get out of my travels. I feel lucky enough to have had opportunities to get out and see the world starting from a young age.

I have always been in a multicultural environment as my mom is Latvian but dad - French. I feel like being exposed to multiple cultures both in my childhood and now university has made me an open and diverse person. I love hearing about people's different experiences from all around the world.

When I'm not traveling (and even when I am) I love drinking coffee, being in a company (people bring me good and positive energy and I tend to be inspired a lot by different people), walking around a lot or driving the car to just whatever location my heart feels like at that moment!! I generally prefer to be outdoors than indoors and I'm always looking for new experiences and new emotions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I guess that why I am on Couchsurfing is just a summary of the things mentioned above. With my love for people and passion for learning more about their lifestyles and culture and interests or just hearing stories from all around the world I think it makes sense for me to be able to connect with people in a simple and no fancy but honest way:))

Music, Movies, and Books

I once thought that I'll get Spotify premium just for a month to try and see what the hype is about but then I'll definitely unsubscribe...what a fool I was!!!! Ever since I got Spotify it's become even harder to describe to what music I am listening to because it's just so easy to listening to pretty much anything there. However, let's talk concerts - if I could go to any concert right now I would go to a Coldplay, Beyoncé, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Milky Chance, Arctic Monkeys, Flume or Maroon 5 concert... or all of them!!

In terms of movies some of my favorites are Forrest Gump, V for Vendetta, Ratatouille, Allied. I love the TV show Friends and Gossip Girl so seeing their houses when I was in New York was definitely unforgettable!

I love books by Dan Brown

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moved away from my country to start studying in a university in the United Arab Emirates. Being exposed to the European kind of lifestyle for my whole life made it slightly challenging to adapt to the life in the Middle East, however I think that it's an incredible experience that I am lucky to have. I have seen so much, learned so much about myself and people around be and genuinely feel like a stronger and more independent human being after just a year spent there. I have learned to appreciate the things I love about my home country and I'm sure it wouldn't be possible if not for the chance to get out and see the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you are interested in coding and/or design and/or interactive art I'll be more than willing to talk about that as that's what I'm studying and there is so much to share with others... but we can also talk about physics or sports or learning Arabic...

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am ready to share the experiences from my travels, can talk quite explicitly about the life in the Middle East, share what I have learned about the Arab culture as a European.
