About Me

It’s really hard for me to describe myself, but what I can definitely say is that I love traveling and I’m trying to do that as much as I possibly can. Also I like trying to learn new languages and when traveling, I like to use Couchsurfing and being together with locals as I’m more interested in culture rather than a typical sightseeing. And yes, I do have obsession with mountains haha. I consider myself to be an open minded person who’s interested to meet people from different parts of the world and share stories and experiences. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I stayed with a CS host for the first time ever for 3 months in 2017 (he was a friend of mine before I even found out before Couchsurfing) and I met more than 60 absolutely amazing people in that house during my multiple stays there, so I decided to try it out myself and I got to say: One of the best decisions of my life.

Interests

It's hard to describe this one as I have too many interests and sometimes it feels like I have no specific interests at all haha. But I really love to discuss interesting and complex topics in order to understand different perspectives and to become more open minded.

  • traveling
  • cycling
  • camping
  • cinematography

Music, Movies, and Books

I don’t have any specific preferences towards any of these things but I do enjoy almost any kind of art.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's too many things to be honest, but to name some:

Randomly ended up spending a week in the middle of Siberia with my school choir against my will in 2018

I did my first solo trip in 2019 for 31 days, spending 10 days traveling around Europe and then spent 21 days in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan

Bought a car in April 2022 and did over 60000km in 10 months with it.

Spent almost a year doing Working Holiday in New Zealand in 2023/2024

Finally started my bachelor's degree in Media&Culture studies in 2025 at age 24

Teach, Learn, Share

I can try to teach some Latvian and give you some insights into Latvian culture if you’re interested. And obviously friendship and the rest that comes with it :)
