In 2010 I moved to Edinburgh from my home town, Riga (Latvia) to study photography and this has been an amazing experience so far!
I believe I am a good guest - I am tactful, quiet and respect privacy and house rules.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think I will use the couchsurfing for one time only, but currently I need to find a place to stay in Paris on October 28-30. I am couchsurfing because I am on a low budget and very like meeting new people to share experiences and views on the world!
