About Me

Hi everyone! 🙋‍♂️ I’m a friendly, positive, and easygoing person. I’m very clean, and I don’t smoke or drink. I really love meeting local people to learn about the culture and what life is like on the island. 🏝️

I work in IT, but I also have a creative side! 💡 I enjoy doing stand-up comedy as a hobby. Every summer, I attend a creative camp in the Baltics. It’s like a "Club of Funny and Inventive people" in nature. 🌲 We build the camp, make decorations, create costumes, and perform shows. I help with everything - from coming up with costume ideas to writing the scripts 🎭

I sometimes work remotely while I travel. 💻 It would be great to work together in a co-working space so we can have interesting conversations during the day. In the evenings, I love to stay active with sports, cook delicious food, or play board games. 🎲 I’m also very happy to share stories about traditions from Latvia and Kazakhstan!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Norway and spent almost all my money trying famous whale meat. I was instantly became broke because of that, I had to sleep on the airport floor that night. It was an interesting experience!

Teach, Learn, Share

🎤🧍🏼‍♂️ Stand-up comedy: I'm happy to share some tips on joke structure, help with scenic apperance, visualize scenes, or even collaborate on a performance.
🎶 Karaoke: I'm game for karaoke! I can lead the song or happily provide some awesome back-up vocals.
🍸 Nightlife Copilot (for men): If you're looking for a reliable wingman for a night out, count me in! I'm good at providing support and making sure everyone has a good time.
☀️ Morning exercises: Start the day right! I can show a quick and effective morning stretch and mobility routine to fit up those muscles and get feeling energized.
👊🏼 Krav Maga: Despite my limited and very basic experience, I can give some fundamental self-defense and awareness tips. Don't expect any ninja moves, but I can help with some simple techniques

What I Can Share with Hosts

I want to be a good guest! I can help with chores or help you around the house. I also love cooking, so I can make a nice meal for us. 🍳 I’ll be happy to share stories about my travels, show you photos of my homeland, and make you a special "Tashkent tea" ☕
Also:
Souvenirs from Latvia can be edible - such as Baltics hard cheese or the famous Riga Black Balsam, or non-edible - like magnets or amber.
