I grew up in the countryside of Latvia in the parish called Vireši, 20km away from Estonian border. I'm a software developer by profession and also work with computer repair and computer systems and networking administration. I'm a vivid enthusiast of astronomy and astrophotography. My life's goal is to travel every single country in the world. Don't know if that's too far fetched, but it's not impossible.
In the last couple of years I've lived on and off in Latvia and Northern Ireland.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking for opportunities to meet new people from all over the world, hear their stories and their travels. I'm open to share my experience and thoughts, which is a good way of better learning about traveling and different ways of doing it.

Music, Movies, and Books

60s, 70s, 80, 90s Rock. Also I enjoy a nice tune of Pop and Synthpop. Honestly too much to mention.
Shawshank Redemption is one of my all time favourite movies. I enjoy a good, complex storytelling with twists.
I like many types of genre. Recently started enjoying neo-noir. From TV shows I enjoy The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones, but the list will update.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Probably one of the best memories of my travels was in Portugal at Cabo de Roca, when I climbed down the cliff to reach a remote beach. The only way to get there was only by climbing down the cliff. Such a surreal experience and the climb was worth it. Afterwards I enjoyed the time there and the view was magnificent.
