About Me

I'm curious, love to talk to people about about cultures, life, the differences and similarities we all have.

And I just want to have this summer for travelling!!!!! Will I meet you to share my almond and dark chocolate snacks? :)

I know that everything happens for a good reason and anything is possible if it is in the very core of your heart. I get amazed by those magical moments of life when you realise that even the worst things have happened in the best possible way. Do you ever get those? :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I try to enjoy everything that couchsurfing has to offer and offer everything I can.

Meeting people in unknown places and get to know then one to one.
I believe it is a great way to meet interesting people and see great new places everywhere I am to go to. The world is a truly fascinating place!

I love to explore things and places that make the town unique in the hearts of its own people. I crave experiences much more that ticking a supposed-to-do list.

Interests

Being with friends, family, meeting people with inspiring life stories, eating, volunteering, sleeping (especially 30mins after lunch....), laughing with friends for no apparent reason, silly-dancing,

sending postcards, writing real letters on nice letter paper, choosing presents for my beloved ones.

Long walks in nature, watching waves, people and other living creatures. Living green - environmentally friendly.

Local history, customs, mentality, architecture, food, nature, people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I decided to go to visit the USA for up to 3 months in less than 24 hours after a couple of pretty incredible coincidences happened to me :)

Scuba diving. Swimming with planktons in midnight before sleeping on the rooftop of a boat and waking up 5am for a swim with (little) sharks.

Teach, Learn, Share

Being one of the rare Latvian breed (only about 2millions of us in the world) I could teach our unique language that is not related to any of the major languages!

Pancakes with different fillings for breakfast?
I love beetroot and I can teach you how to love it, too :D
Obviously, I love sharing my food.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cooking, chatting, laughs! Or just sitting and doing nothing when too exhausted after conquering the hidden treasures in local corners of your town!

Estonia, France, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Spain, Turkey, Vatican City State

Countries I’ve Lived In
