ABOUT ME
Open-minded and friendly person who easily finds contact with different people. Enjoy to communicate and share my opinion about many issues experienced in my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
If it is possible in the particular moment, I will be glad to host you. If not, it will be a pleasure for me to show you my town and the most beautiful places of that. If you want, I can arrange you a small tour through Riga, but if you prefer to explore the town on you own, I can suggest you some nice cafes to stay at and give some advices about any kind of issues connected with your stay in Riga/Latvia.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have had different kind of experiences and all of them have been great! I have stayed by hosts in St. Petersburg (two different places) and have been a host on my own at my place in Riga as well. I am really glad that these experiences have helped me to get to know new people closer and that we still have a good and friendly contact!
Interests
All the things that are connected with culture is my element. Films, theatre, music, books - I love to enjoy all these things. At the same time, it is often useful to take a peaceful walk through the forest or along the sea without talking therefore I like being in nature, traveling and discovering new cultures. I like to learn foreign languages because this gives you power, to have some physical activities because they make fit and I love singing because this gives the soul a chance to fly.
