I'm Sasha - a passionate traveler, adventurer, and lifelong learner. With a law degree under my belt, I've had the opportunity to explore the world, visit more than 90 countries, and immerse myself in diverse cultures. Along the way, I've worked as a tour leader and even ran my own small tour agency. My love for languages led me to become fluent in English and I'm currently expanding my language repertoire by learning Spanish.

Since 2018, I've been living in beautiful Riga, Latvia, and my husband and I have had the pleasure of hosting numerous amazing people, creating lasting friendships along the way. Most of our hosting references can be found on my husband's profile

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that the true beauty of travel lies in the connections we make and the shared experiences we have with locals. That's why I'm here on Couchsurfing—to connect with incredible people from different corners of the world, forge meaningful friendships, and create memorable experiences. I'm excited to open my heart and home to fellow travelers, as well as to embark on new adventures as a guest.

Just before the pandemic hit, I had a very busy schedule working, organizing, and guiding so I missed on personal travels and CS experiences.
However, recently I realized that the magic of traveling was not the same without the enriching experiences Couchsurfing provides. So here I am, brushing up on my Couchsurfing experience and eagerly looking forward to reconnecting with this incredible community.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most incredible things I've had the privilege to do was lead a group of adventurous souls on a thrilling hike up the challenging trails of Volcano Chachani. Standing at the summit, surrounded by breathtaking views and a sense of accomplishment, was a truly awe-inspiring moment that will forever stay with me. It's moments like these that fuel my passion for exploration and pushing beyond my limits.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a wealth of knowledge and skills to offer, and I'm always eager to share and learn from others. I'm well-versed in organizing and planning tours, so if you need any assistance with travel itineraries or tips on exploring new destinations, I'm here to help. I'm open to learning about different cultures, languages, and local customs, and I'm enthusiastic about exchanging stories, ideas, and perspectives.

What I Can Share with Hosts

As a guest, I bring with me a sense of adventure, respect, and a genuine interest in getting to know the local way of life.
I love creating connections through shared meals, so I'd be delighted to prepare a traditional dish from my own country or assist in cooking a meal together.

If you're up for it, I can also lead a workout session or share my knowledge of dietology and nutrition to help you achieve your health and wellness goals.

Lastly, if you're attending a festival or need help with creating unique festival outfits, count me in! I enjoy designing and crafting festival attire and would be thrilled to lend a hand in creating something special for you.
