I come from a small city in Latvia called Valmiera, but for the past 6 years I call Riga my home. I'm a student for 9 months of the year and every summer while being a student I have spent working in United States or Canada with the most amazing program - Southwestern Advantage! I love seeing new places and meeting new people all over the world - it makes me a better person! Can't wait for the next adventure to come! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe this place has a lot of open- minded people who share the love for traveling :) good place to help each other out! :)

Interests

I love working with people. I've been teaching students to go out of their comfort zones and face challenges life brings them for the last 8 years. I love spending time with close friends as well as new friends by going out in the nature, playing board games and so much more! I love travelling myself and I am all for activities outside & inside- running, track&field, yoga, surfing, jumping, flying, eating good food, etc.. I love living life to the fullest! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I just ran my very first full marathon in May 14, 2017!
42km in 4:23:45h

Teach, Learn, Share

My core values:
Don't settle for less than you deserve in life
Pay it forward
You will be the same person you are right now 5years from now except for the books you read and people you meet
Look at the 5 people you spend the most time with. You are the average of them all in most areas of your life- like it or not. Choose who you want to be.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Teach a bit of Latvian language and cook them some of our national dishes :) I can also teach you the basics of sales :)
