Hey! My name is Richard, I'm a photographer and art director based in Riga.

I love traveling and meeting new people, telling scary and funny stories from real life. I used to give lectures on art history, so I always enjoy discussing the topic.

I'm a big fan of all kinds of weird things, like Buryat underground art.
I often travel around Europe in my 1999 TOYOTA CELICA, searching for new stories for my nonexistent biographical book.

I love taking portraits of the people I meet :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet people all over Europe and create amazing memories.
