About Me

CURRENT MISSION

be good to people

ABOUT ME

I am a 32 year old guy. I work as a Linux systems administrator at a respectful IT company. I live and work in Latvia. I am married and we have an adorable 2,5 years old son - he is super cool.
I can't say, that I have travelled a lot, but I have been to some countries. I like travelling, but don't do it much, mostly because of lack of free time. I like meeting new people and hope they like meeting me.

PHILOSOPHY

I think that all the people in the world are good, only some of them still remember it, but other forgot. I am trying to communicate and help the first ones.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately, since our kid was born we stopped hosting, we plan to resume when he is a bit older.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have registered here some time ago, but somehow up to now I don't have any experience. But I wish to gain some very much. Perhaps I am too careful person, but after I have studied a lot of positive reviews, I have decided to participate myself.

Interests

I am interested in travelling, filmmaking, IT, music, reading books, learning spanish and dancing Argentinean Tango. And of course, meeting new people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have surfed in the Atlantic Ocean in Portugal and Pacific Ocean in California. For a lot of people it is an ordinary thing to do, but for me it is the most amazing thing up to now (well, except of my family of course)!

Teach, Learn, Share

Meeting different interesting people gives us a lot of experience. Let's meet, communicate and broaden our horizons.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a nice company, I am polite, open-minded and easy going person. I can tell whatever I can about my experiences, while travelling or just about my life or family. I can help you practicing in languages, that I speak fluently.
Or I can listen to your stories, I am a good listener too.
