I'm Kristers and I'm from Latvia. Now I am going on a new adventure - studying my Masters in Astrophysics in Bologna! But more about me - I am easy-going, friendly and open-minded. I love playing sports such as football, volleyball, roundnet and basically any other. I also play a lot chess, which is my latest passion. Besides that I like to have board games evenings, meeting new people, trying out some challenges and learning new things.

I like to talk about anything that the other person is passionate about, but other than that I enjoy having conversations about local politics, adventures, books, video games and stuff that I don't know. Which is why I love travelling, because I can hear so many views on different topics and world itself. That allows me to broaden my views and learn more about this big rock we live in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mainly because I want to meet new people in Bologna, explore the city and other cities as well.
