Hey, community! Ouch, this is the toughest thing, telling about myself without any specific questions being asked... :) I´m an absolute summer lover, so after my native Riga (Latvia), moving to northern Spain a decade ago was definitely an upgrade. :)
It is a bit of a challenge for me to approach people and start a conversation, but I am very extrovert and easy to talk to when approached. :) I love socializing, attending cultural events and an occasional all-night party, but I have no problem whatsoever enjoying a rainy weekend at home reading or watching a good movie after a morning body-combat class at the gym.. My interests vary from choral music to rock climbing, from linguistics to Bikram Yoga, from literature to salsa/bachata... and I just wish there was more time (and money :) ) to do/try all the great things life has to offer!
Hope to meet up soon!... :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My flatmate used to be on Couchsurfing years ago, and together we hosted several travelers from different parts of the world - enriching experience in all kinds of ways!! - , so I decided to sign up and created a profile of my own few years later, and boy it' s been great! This is an infinite source of new acquaintances, friendships, love, and neverending learning....

Music, Movies, and Books

QUEEN
El secreto de sus ojos (Juan José Campanella, ARG, 2009)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Got myself fired twice. :) The first time resulted in me moving to Spain. The second one showed me an open door to the hot yoga, and I´m only getting started..

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am always open for a conversation on whatever subject comes up, and mixing languages while at it is always fun! :) I´ve traveled quite a bit and earned my living doing all sorts of different stuff (teaching languages, tour-managing music bands, as an office administrator, purchasing machinery for car factories, procuring power and gas in European energy markets, teaching Bikram Yoga), so we would hardly run out of topics... But I can also share silence if prefered.
