CURRENT MISSION

Make the world a better place!

ABOUT ME

Most people describe me as a calm, polite, somehow charismatic and "pacifying" person. I think it is just the matter of phlegmatic temperament and some northern genes. Nevertheless I do enjoy making people feel safe, happy, comfortable and more open!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At this moment I mainly participate in CS by hosting guests. I am staying in Madrid for two years to do my fellowship in epidemiology and I had this idea in mind when choosing the flat to rent.

Even though I travel quite a lot, I try to use that opportunity to meet my friends in all parts of the world, but I still hope I will have a chance to get to know people by couchsurfing myself ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Used to host quite many travelers while living with my boyfriend in Riga.

Interests

- to learn to be free and happy and to help to be free and happy the others around me.. a high goal, but who go for anything less? :) - 'Sky is the limit' (M. Cervantes)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

being born in these super-dynamic times ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I think we always learn from each other during even shortest interaction. Though being aware of that and keeping the motivation at high level may help a lot, no?..
