About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm an easy going person, open and relaxed. I am really into having 'good' conversations about stuff that makes people passionate.
But then I also like absurd stuff and joking around :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love most movies made by Wes Anderson, Darren Aronofsky, David Lynch and Judd Apatow. My favorite of theirs' are: Fantastic Mr Fox, The Fountain, Mulholland drive and 40 Year old Virgin. I think my all time favorite is Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind,
I can't seem to get enough of the "coming of age"- and "stand up be yourself" theme, so I really love: Sex Education, Atypical, As it is in heaven.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ending up with a group of lost hikers in a holiday mansion of the ex-prime-minister of Latvia, and getting served much more than we expected/hoped for/ or could take in.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Silence! I am very easy going and peaceful. I really have no need to talk all the time, which also makes me a good listener.

Noise! I love to make music so, kicking out jams is totally an option.

India, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Nepal, Spain, United Kingdom
