I am Ilmars and I am originally from small village 20 km out of Sigulda. I am Geographer and Environmental scientist, but at the moment I am staying in United Kingdom, in small town Nuneaton, working for a local retailer. I am calm, friendly and open for new experiences. My mission for 2019 is to travel as much as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

That's the only way how to get to know locals and about local culture, customs and other things, locals can give the best travel tips and how to save money in the local circumstances. I like to hear stories from other travelers, share my experiences.

Interests

I'm interesting in traveling, gardening,cooking, guitar play. I like everything related with green lifestyle. I like travel around and to meet local people from the places I visit, would like to cook the national dish of every country I have visited.
