Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to be able to travel and see real people beyond travel guides and tourist maps. I never use them anyways.
I wish to see new worlds and meet inspiring people doing extraordinary things in the simplest ways.

Music, Movies, and Books

I appreciate different kinds of music.
For every mood or activity I may listen to specific music.

I'm currently into more rap and hiphop, as well as melodic electronic music, especially when I work out.
At home I love to put on my Magic Moments playlist on Spotify that's mainly Frank Sinatra and Norah Jones type of feel-good music.
I love exploring traditional Asian and African music, as well as other ethnic music.
I grew up listening to heavy metal, and it is still a part of me.

Movie-wise, I tend to watch movies that touch my soul and intellect in some way.
I also LOVE watching stand up comedy!
My favorite book is Viktor Frankl's 'Man's Search for Meaning' - I believe every literate human being should read it and live by it.

Some of my favorite movies are - Elisabeth: The Golden Age, The Fountain, Patch Adams

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Started a Zero Waste FB group that turned into a country-wide political force and resulted in multiple package-free shops being opened across the country (Latvia) and more.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach cooking, Latvian language, and psychotherapy and nervous system practices for working with yourself and getting through tough times.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Practices for healing the mind and body through nervous system regulation.
And on a less serious note - delicious recipes (and I can cook them for you, too).
