Overview
About Me
ABOUT ME
I live in one of the greenest cities in Latvia - Ogre. Its 40 minutes or less by train, depends on train types and about 45 minutes by bus from central bus station. Its the same amount of time that would take going to the some sub-areas in Riga.
Anyway, here i am, XS human being with XL curiosity, hobbies and smile.
I really enjoy making new communications because i like to learn new things and the process of communication itself - in era of Facebook , talking face-to-face always makes the day better. :) In daily life i try to find anything extraordinary or enjoy everything as it is.
PHILOSOPHY
...Without leaps of imagination or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all is a form of planning...
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
CS is exciting way how to meet people from all the world, share interesting stories.
Interests
Most of my interests are related with outdoor activities.
Urban exploring (urban exploration) is my main hobby for about 6 years. I'm excited about visiting abandoned places and rooftops...derelict places.
Geocaching is also on my "yay, let's do it list".
Photography, especially taking film photos. Yeah, that might seem to be "vintage" or "hipsterish'" but i'm enjoying the process itself.
Also,i'm very into playing board games (Dixit,Saboteur,Ghost stories,Alias and so on) - well mostly i like party games but sometimes i prefer hardcore thinking ones as well. I also create my own board game versions...
Hitchhiking - being on a road is an adventure.
Beer!It's a huge field of discoveries, i know small breweries in Latvia and where to get really tasty beer.
Street art. Although i'm not doing it myself, i'm just very interested in it. Especially if there's a social or philosophical message.
What else?Poetry,DIY stuff,cats, seeking soundscapes(sometimes i record something), cycling - enjoy it a lot.
Long conversations!I prefer to listen, though.
& etc, all that makes our world horizon wider.
