About Me

18/03/2015:
Ok, this is time, where we need to rewrite our profile page. :)

A small information about us. We are a couple, living in Riga. I am working as a software developer and studying geology at university. I am one of those technical guys (nerds), who like computer stuff, gadgets, board games etc.

My wife is opposite to me. But she likes Star Trek and Star Wars, that means a lot! :) She is a physiotherapist. Working with people, that needs some help. It is very important job, and I really love her! :)

Our hobbies are - board games, hiking, travelling and sometimes dancing lindy hop(google it on youtube)!

We like nature and cycling. And burgers. Burgers mean a lot. And beer. Beer means more, than burgers. Ok, once more time: 1) hiking 2) burgers 3) beer. :)

What to say more. We don't like copy-paste requests. We love to read your requests. Try to express yourself into a request.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing means a lot. It is our way to travel sometimes. This kind of travelling from a sofa. We love to meet new people and to show them around.

We were hosting a lot, and surfing a bit. But we really know, how surfers feel like, and what to recommend them.

For us, CS is more about meeting people, than giving them a place where to stay.

CS = talk to people, meet people. CS<>just giving them a place to stay. We will talk to you, beware! :)

Music, Movies, and Books

We like to read modern literature, or some unknown authors. We like to visit bookshop, to open any random book and to try reading it. We have met so many interesting books such way, which we wouldn`t choose only by their cover.

Music for us is a big part of life. We like different kinds of music, but much prefer music with unusual vocal. We like music of the city, some improvisations. We like to make music. You can make music with every object, can you? =]

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Were dining in Cambridge dining room, while not being students of that college.

Went on a eurotrip by car for a month.
