Russian guy from Latvia,curious about the cultural and ethnic heritage everyone of us owns. Since I first time experienced travelling in my childhood it remains one of the biggest sources of inspiration for me. I studied in Latvian Maritime Academy in order to become a naval officer,but I quit this field. Now I am trying to integrate myself in the cultural sphere. I am passionate about cinema and painting,linguistics and anthropology. I am concerned,that by studying the culture and history of the people,we learn more about ourselves.I have experience of working in different places and visiting countries around the world with travelling and working issues. Also I like nature,physical activities and the culture of food and drinks. I like to cook and study a lot about the recipes of both meals and drinks and beverages.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to explore the new way of travelling,and learn how to communicate with different and unfamiliar people!
