I am a chill guy from Latvia and I love art, tech, sports, nature. I guess that encompasses everything so not very useful statement :D. I can share my experience with an alternative education in the tech field. Im pretty tall so there goes bball. Yeah. I like life ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and help out a friendly traveler.
To expand my drawn owl collection.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Improv is pretty amazing, sometimes...

Teach, Learn, Share

Positive emotions; poi spinning and Latvian dancing; sloppy philosophy; passion about living; and if you are absolutely mad we can go over design choices of C programming.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Chewing gum; shiny conversations; lots and lots of smiles; lessons on how to swear in Dutch, Latvian and Russian; my Steam account; pancakes.
