Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I donate, I am a potential guest, and I offer a place to stay in Riga when I can

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted many people here in Riga both in and out of CS, and I had a wonderful experience being a guest of many generous hosts.

For me surfing is more a matter of a life style, as I can afford staying at a hotel, but meeting people is much more exciting.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

they are so many.. People and new places are best to get to know in unusual situations, which I had aplenty :)

just some examples:

I have organised an art-banking service in Riga, the first in the Eastern part of EU, and ran it for two years
I had a flight with single-motor Cessna to Zanzibar
I bid good-bye to the sun at the Arpoador beach in Rio de Janeiro in the nude
I searched Ural Mountains in Russia for UFO
I fed raw meat to a lion ...
