Hei, I'm Lauma! A joyful, energetic, patient optimist. I smile a lot, enjoy hiking and exploring, dancing and singing, drawing tiny details, improvisation theater and contact improvisation, learning, sharing. Recently I graduated art high school in Riga where I studied multimedia design (2D and 3D animation, graphic design, video editing,..). Before jumping to University I decided to have a year of doing European Voluntary service in France, in a peaceful rural environment practicing diverse skills - gardening, masonry, cooking, planning local events, living and having adventures in a intercultural community.

Currently I'm traveling with my boyfriend, exploring Czech Republic!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To share with others and do an exchange, explore and learn from different mindsets of people. Recently started as a surfer during my stay in France and when I'll settle somewhere I'll be happy to contribute to the community by becoming a host.
