CURRENT MISSION

Experience life from all its amazing sides

ABOUT ME
Value time and good relationships. From the words of my friends, I am "an open, intelligent, polite, kind and friendly person with a good sense of humor. A grown-up man who hasn't lost his childishness and an ability to be wide-eyed. Surprising fast-learner in any new kind of sport."

PHILOSOPHY

Be happy and make good people happier.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Host nice people from all around the world in Riga, surf and attend CS events.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In one word - fantastic! Both surfing and hosting experience was unforgettable and when travelling - spending time with CSers is always the best time spent. Made friends with some of the CSers and we still keep in touch and meet again and again when we visit each other's countries.

I enjoy meeting free and open people, getting to know them, learning what is their key to being happy, learn more about new cultures and countries.
