Open-minded and flexible guy who has been snatched for travelling and meeting new people.
Polite, kind, helpful; practicing high self-awareness and emotional intelligence that mostly comes naturally.
One of my biggest strengths: mindful questioning and listening with high interest (especially topics about psychology and travelling).
Humble (once in an interview I have answered that this is the best and the worst characteristic of Latvians; it can certainly be seen as a strong trait in communication if practiced mindfully).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's always nice and exciting to meet new people, enlarge experience horizons and dive into intercultural conversations.
My door in Riga is open and I am time to time trying to surf myself too when I travel :)

Interests

Travelling, exploring nature and new things, debate and interesting converstions, sports, music, movies, books, chilling in cool events.
I do collect money from different countries (so feel free to bring some coins or bills, especially from more distant places).

Music, Movies, and Books

'Yes Man', 'Into the Wild', 'The Art of Travel', 'The Girl with Dragon's Tattoo'.
Dostoyevsky's "Crime and Punishment" - a really powerful psychological masterpiece.
Two Door Cinema Club, Imagine Dragons, The XX.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmm, maybe this one: a more than 2000km long hitch-hiking trip around Balkans that included sleeping in tent on an abandoned asphalt road next to Dubrovnik (one of the least backpackers friendly city that I've been to).

Teach, Learn, Share

Info about my country, imrovisation theater excersises, board games (and talking games), healthy food and lifestyle.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Among other things: my ears through natural curiosity within mindful conversations :)
