I'm a weird (in a positive way, obviously) Latvian who sincerely loves studying.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm open for meeting new people, adventures, and simply different types of experiences. I'm very open-minded and am amazed by how diverse and beautiful people can be! Got an adventurous offer for a stranger like me? Sign me up!

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to pretty much any type of music raging from Russian rap to Latvian folk music, from country to classical music, and from techno to classic rock and roll (and other music, of course).

Here's a list of some of my fave songs:
*** Any Queen and ABBA songs
*** Little Talks by Of Monsters And Men
*** What is Love by Haddaway

I am interested in any type of movies (comedies, horror films, romantic comedies, Quentin Tarantino's movies, and other). The movie selection is purely based on how I feel at that particular moment.
Here's a list of some of my fave movies:
*** The Gunfighter (2014)
*** I Origins (2014)
*** Rush (2013)
*** Bridge to Terabithia (2007)
*** Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006)
*** Inglourious Basterds (2009)
*** Tulip Fever (2017)

My favorite books? No such thing, as I don't know how to translate the titles of the books (sorry, people).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
