About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy every day.Life is short.

ABOUT ME

Simply me.Young,a little bit crazy,tasting life in all it`s colours.

PHILOSOPHY

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.

Never regret. If it's good, it's wonderful. If it's bad, it's experience.

If you have something difficult, then it is one more reason to do it.

Do the impossible, to achieve possible. :)

I think the best way to regain strength and spirit is to go back to nature. Nature is the start of everything in this world, we have to respect and love nature, because it is the our source of life.

Always enjoy the magic of the moment.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I`m listening to music on mood. Jazz, rock, R&B, Funk, Reggae, Indie, something from electronica and house music.

Movies.
I love biographical movies, good thrillers, very good action movies, also some comedy, documentaries (NG, Investigation Discovery etc.). I`m huge animated movies fan!

Theese are my all time favourites: The Pianist, Seven years in Tibet, Meet Joe Black, An affair to remember (1957), Forrest Gump, Life is beautiful, It`s a wonderfull life (1946), Frida, The Shawshank Redemption, Schindler`s List, The Kings speech, Crash, Inception, Sherlock Holmes, The Help, The Sound of Music.

Books.
I love thrillers, biographies and history books, sometimes some good romantic novel.

These are my favourites: Charlotte Bronte "Jane Eyre", Jean Webster "Daddy-Long-Legs", Astrid Lingren "Pippi Longstocking", Jerome K. Jerome "Three man in a boat", Antoine de Saint-Exupery "The Little Prince", Paulo Coelho "Alchemist", "11 minutes". I also like all books from Harry Potter series. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I`ve driven a quad bike here in Latvia and with machine-amphibian in Andorra- for me that was an adventure. Also I enjoyed riding a camel in the desert of Sahara and I was parasailing in Tunisia.

Teach, Learn, Share

As I`m native Latvian, I can teach not only some words, but sentences. Our language is hard, but beautiful.
In past I have worked in wine shop, it is my passion, I also sometimes host wine tastings, so I can tell You something new about wine.
History is more than my hobby, that`s why I can tell You a lot about our history while walking around Riga.
I`m curious, I like to learn, so if someone can teach me something new, it`s great.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can give You a good insight about Latvia, Riga, about our food and maybe show some good spots, that aren’t often in tourist gides.

Countries I’ve Visited

Andorra, Austria, Czech Republic, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Tunisia, United Kingdom
