About Me

I like to be in nature. Do all of kind outdoor activities. Like swimming, sailing, very much running, a little bit MTB, cross-country skiing, snowboarding and of course hiking.
I am interested in politics.
Someone says it is weird but I don`t smoke and no drink.
Friends for me means a lot! When I organize events my friends have advantages! :) It`s unacceptable to make money on friends.
I like to play on guitar Latvian music and writing songs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because its the best way how to know more about the places where I go. In tourism guidelines you can not get all the feeling which you can get being in communication in local people.

Interests

Sometimes even too much.

* Guitar playing and singing (I don`t have a guitar in France. deam! But I have played for 700 people audience. Feeling like in heaven.)
* Outdoor sports (running, free athletics 3-4 days a week. It`s great to feel good)
* Sailing (member in sailing team. When everything is to much this is perfect relax)
* Politics (participated in elections. I want to make better environment for society. Change society.)
* Forestry (have been worked and lived 5 years in forest and studied forestry already 10 years. This is crazy but it`s just my way.)
* Hikings. (I love hiking's!)
* Healthy lifestyle. (It`s cool to be different.)
* Cross country skiing (this is new for me)
* Snowboarding (beginner but I love mountains)
* Swimming (if there is a water I want to swim even if there is an ICE on it. Perfect feeling after it!)
* Sustainable environment (if we loose nature, we loose everything. Try to be responsible)

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies - Wild, The Lake house, A wallk to remember, August Rush, Ice Age, The American Mail, The Notebook, Friends with benefits

The last books which I red:
* "The Art of War" (Sunzi) - in progress. Unidirectional parallels with nowadays.
* "Born to run" (Christopher McDougall) - wonderful book about ultramarathoner`s lifestyle and technics.
* "Under the Sign of Scorpion" (Jüri Lina). About Freemansory. Truth of governance, who rules the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2012 I have been sailing for two weeks in Atlantic Ocean by Sail Training international yacht "Spaniel"

Being Erasmus in Norway 2016! Swimming in winter.

Being Erasmus in France 2016-2017. Sleeping on cliffs without tent in rain.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Share my opinion and talk about philosophic topics. What is "good", what is "not" and why. I like to understand how people thinks and why. No judgement just different background.

Can share professional opinion about about forestry and sustainability.

I can share tradition of Latvian folk songs. , the stories about sailing, the forestry, the most beautiful places in Latvia.
