I would like to think of myself as a person who loves animals more than people. :) Trying to bring some love and sunshine in the world and make each and every day ridiculously amazing. A short girl with big heart. Sometimes I'm smiling too loudly, which is basically why my sarcasm knows no boundaries. My obsession with books and reading has started to invade my personal space, but I don't mind it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling, although it's hard to combine college life with a full-time job and being as awesome as myself, but still trying to do it. It's so much more special if you can not only visit the country and see some culture but meet these new, incredible people with their extraordinary stories. Maybe you are a college student who wants to meet new people. Maybe you are a teacher with whom I can exchange some experience and stories. Or maybe a full-time explorer who is excited about every new experience and person. ...count me in! :)

Interests

Of course, I love culture and meeting new people while traveling, but there's is something magical, when it comes to the mountains. The view, the smell, the complete freedom... that is where I feel at home.

As I mentioned before, reading is a big part of my life. ...so-called bookworm. To read or not to read. Not even a question.

Reading of-course goes hand-in-hand with languages. My soul languages are English and French, but my main goal is to learn one language from every language family. Going for Norwegian now.

Animals. All animals. Even those spiders. Most of them are more human than human.

All I can say about the active life is that it is a must in my life. Huge hockey fan, especially in World championship. But running, hiking, skiing... I'm all in.

Music, Movies, and Books

A big fan of The Script and Fray, but You will definitely find me listening to the oldies too... In my playlist, you will find The Queen and Freddy Mercury for sure.
What concerns movies, of course, I'm into Oscar movies, The Revenant, The King's speech and so on, but one of my all-time favorites is Seven Pounds with Will Smith. If you want to just cry it all out, this is definitely what you are looking for.
And books...oh so many, it's such an unfair question to list just one. Is it White Oleander by Janet Fitch, or maybe A Dog's Purpose by W. Bruce Cameron or maybe or The Help by Kathryn Stockett. No, it's too hard. I'm not ready for such an existential question in my life. Not ready to make that choice.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Maybe for some, it wouldn't be such an amazing thing, but for me, it would be to make a choice agree to donate my organs after my death and keep going to donate my blood every 3 months.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can definitely teach some languages - Russian, French, Latvian, English.
I love learning, any way of learning. Your life will only get better learning anything about everything.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my awesome personality :D
I can show you how to make a paper ship from basically any form of paper.
I can share travel stories.
I can share my personal all-time favorite book list, that will definitely change your way of seeing the world.
I would say I am a pretty good cook and if You need any help in the kitchen, be sure, I will help.
