About Me

CURRENT MISSION

little things are those which make the world.

ABOUT ME

I consider myself being an extravert, easy-going and very responsible person. Love learning new things, meeting interesting people with different cultural backgrounds. Traveling is my passion, I love the feeling of being in constant motion. I think that acceptance of different people and different things that are not like ones you're used to is a great wisdom and I am constantly learning to accept.

PHILOSOPHY

I have my feet on the ground, but my head in the stars (c)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently I am living in Riga with my parents, so I unfortunately cannot host anyone at the moment, but hopefully I can in the nearest future!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had an experience as a surfer, visiting the New York City, Berlin and Tampere. I was lucky to meet open-minded, easy-going people, who I could immediately trust and with whom I could feel like home. One day I will get my own place and will also host people, help them to get around and listen to their stories!

Interests

Love traveling, listening to music, going to concerts, theater, opera, see different musicals, movies and reading historical and adventure books.

My passion is law, I want to get my master's degree in this field, although my bachelor's is in international economic relations. One of my favorite countries is Finland, I love its culture and its nature. But I love discovering new places or revisit places to find something new about them, and see how this place changed and how my view changed.

Like shopping, make-up and clothes. Have a huge collection of scarfs and nail polishes. Like creating images on other people as well.

I like autumn, it is my favorite season of all. Enjoy singing and am going to take professional opera singing lessons.

Sometimes I feel like a have no time for all in what I am interested to do. World and people, magic and history, music and sounds, nature and anthropology, psychology and philosophy, debates, religions, dreams and all that is undiscovered...
