Mint and Margarita are sharing this profile together!

CURRENT MISSION -- Living properly is enough. :)

ABOUT US -- We're a bit crazy. Sometimes we like to act rapidly, for example, go on a walk in our capital city by wearing only pajamas (it was January). We also like to dance in the fountain with our snickers on. That's not all, but we don't feel the urge to reveal ourselves that easy.
We just like having a good time.

PHILOSOPHY -- There's no point of wanting the things you don't have - you have to estimate the things you already have!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING -- We would like to meet new people, show them our country and maybe tell a little bit of our history. We'd also like to visit other countries and explore their culture, most visited places, to meet new people and have a good time with them.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE -- One of us has traveled to Germany and slept over in a hosting family. In France as well.
We've showed for a couple of couchsurfers, how it is to live in Riga.
In Summer of 2012 both of us travelled to Estonia, where we were hoster - it was marvellous! They showed us around and we learned a lot more than we could under other circumstances.
Mint travelled with CS to Warsaw, Brno, Wien, Bialystoc - good experience!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Marga has been in Alps. The scenery was brilliant. She thinks, if you once go to the mountains, you fall in love with them forever!

Mint went to United States of America for the whole summer and lived all the time with a host family.

Teach, Learn, Share

Marga can share some recepies, which are easy to make, for example, her famous Tuna Sauce or Chocolate Cake. :)
