ABOUT ME

Born in Riga, Latvia. Love to travel when possible and meet new people. Everybody has a story and I do like to listen and learn. If I wasn’t a journalist, I’d probably be a long distance truck driver… LOVE to DRIVE!
I think that first impressions are very important not only for people, but also visiting new countries or cities. So, whenever there is a chance I love to show great sites in Riga and hidden treasures of Latvia.

Married to the cutest girl in the world! :) And she takes me to beautiful places!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling in tourist groups has never been an option for me. Love to meet locals. Do the unexpected. I'm new to Couchsurfing, but once we all were. Weren't we?

Interests

Music is great part of my life and passion. Last year we (Irving Ark) recorded debut EP and this year we’ll have our debut in summer festivals! Exited!
