Hi! Usually I'm Micha - but the latvian version of my first name sounds fancier so I decided to place it atop. I grew up in Riga which is the reason for my (sometimes) nostalgic 'slavic soul'. Most of the time I am an enthusiastic and energetic guy, though.
While I'm working on my PhD at the University of Trier and being a part time teacher at school, my passion is with my self employed theater work: I am a director in my own experimental and innovative performing art and theater projects.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to exchange experiences, views, perspectives; willing to meet new people to talk to, to learn from and to share with; valuing a good company; always up to take a coffee or beer and have a talk.
