Curious, kind-hearted and open-minded traveler. I love discovering new places through people’s stories, local food, and everyday life. Originally from Latvia, I speak several languages and enjoy meaningful conversations, long walks, and spontaneous adventures. Calm, respectful, and independent — I believe every journey teaches us something new.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because traveling is not only about places, but about people. I like the idea of cultural exchange, learning from locals, and sharing moments that make traveling feel real — not touristic.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love films by Tarantino, Wes Anderson and Woody Allen — stories with soul and imperfection.
Books: a mix of travel essays, philosophy, and poetry.
Music: from Italian classics to indie and soft jazz.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Drove across Italy on a red Vespa, chasing sunsets and small trattorias along the coast.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some basic Latvian or Russian phrases, share travel tips about Italy, France and the Baltics, or cook a good homemade meal together. I’m always eager to learn about your culture and favorite local spots.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Positive energy, good conversation, respect for your home and privacy — and maybe a homemade breakfast or a small souvenir from Latvia.
