ABOUT ME

Fashion/graphic designer, Illustrator and a traveller.
To get an insight of what I'm doing you can check my website http://www.agaterubene.com/

During my studies I've lived and worked in various countries (Latvia, Denmark, England, Netherlands) where I always enjoyed communication with people from different countries and cultures and international environment so it kind of became an addiction to move from one place to another. For the last two years I've been back in my home town Riga working as a graphic designer and managing my fashion label.

I'm outgoing, open minded person and have a good sense of humor. Love to explore & learn new things. Also love bananas & olives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
