Hello everyone!
A few weeks ago I finally graduated Latvian Academy of Arts, graphic department. While I was studying in Art Academy I did Erasmus in the UK aswell. I am creative-minded and love to think from a different side. Sometimes I don't like to feel like fish in the water because I am one of those who believe that when you are outside comfort zone you grow 100% faster than being in comfort.

I am a very good listener and can give my own opinion and advice if someone is asking for it. Sometimes people say that they're first impression about me is that I am very shy, but later on, when we get to know each other better I talk a lot more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mostly to share my own experiences and learn something new about other people and their culture.
In the future, I would love to meet and give shelter to other people, because at this moment I am living in a really small studio apartment with my husband.

Interests

I have a lot of different interests, like scuba diving, rock climbing, cycling, travelling, book reading, making earrings, drawing, painting, doing some graphic works, teaching how to draw, etc.

Music, Movies, and Books

It is really hard to define which is my favourite music style or song, it depends on mood, but mostly its something alternative, calm, sad or funny. I love Benjamin Clementine, Bon Iver, Beirut, Florence and the Machine, Coldplay, etc.

I love a lot of different movie genres, like psychology, drama, romance, biographies.
''Amelia'', ''Pride and Prejudice'', ''The perks of being a wallflower'' ''Into the wild'', ''Beautiful mind'', "Notebook" ( Yes, I am cliche kind of girl. :D).

My two favourite writers - Erich Maria Remarque (read almost all books), Alessandro Baricco (also read almost all books and felt in love with them).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiked from Latvia to Greece (Meteora) and from Greece to Warsawa (Poland) End of the 2015 year in December/January with my husband. More than 4300km on-road and way back to home there were minus 13 degrees.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn something new from others.
Can answer unclearly questions about art supplies, printmaking, give advice or teach how to draw.
