About Me

I am a student. Now I'm learning to play guitar. I believe I am friendly and I like to meet new people especially from other countries. I really like to visit all sorts of cultural events, music concerts, movies, theater performances and sport events. I believe that creates a large par of who you are. I used to play football for quite a long time and I enjoy most of the sport activities if I am provided with good company. In the summer I tend to travel around city by bike.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really like to travel, but I find it quite expensive, the main expenses are buying the ticket and to paying for a hotel. Then I realized that Couchsurfing reduces most of the cost when traveling. And I love to explore other cultures and I love to meet awesome people and Couchsurfing is a great opportunity for that. Nothing is better then exploring culture from residents. Only then you get most truer view.

Interests

My main focus now is guitar and I enjoy a heck out of learning it.
I love to learn things in Youtube. Sometimes it might be the best way how to get it done.
I love watching documentaries especially about Cosmos, it amazes me so much.

I'm not much of a book reader. I really liked Orwell`s 1984 and Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm really glad I pulled myself together and signed for Erasmus +.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to cook some more traditional Latvian foods. I can show you around and show some place that you never find as a tourist. We can also hang out with my friends. And last, but not least I can teach you to play something on guitar :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can show you around and I can provide place on my couch in the living room with blankets, sheets and pillows of course.
