Hey! About me?

I’m from Latvia, a small country near the Baltic Sea. We often get mixed up with the other Baltic countries - Estonia and Lithuania, but I won’t take that to heart.

I have just finished my Bachelor studies in film directing. After that, I have decided to fulfill my dream and go on a bike-packing trip around Europe. It has turned out to be as big of a challenge as I had imagined. But that won’t stop me (hopefully).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Honestly, coming from my home country of Latvia, I am used to the fact that wild camping is allowed and encouraged. Therefore my bikepacking trip has an added, previously unknown difficulty of finding a place to stay for the night.

Interests

I love music! I've attended a music school for 9 years, been a part of 4 different choirs, created my own music and so much more. I can also play you some very mediocre piano music, if that’s something of interest.

Film, cinema and filmmaking is my passion. Creating anything, especially music or films, is what keeps me excited and brings me joy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have met with the 44th US President Barack Obama at the age of 11. We didn't talk much. I’d be happy to tell you the story, if you’re interested.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd be glad to help out with anything! Although my best strengths are art related. I might be dreadful at drawing, but if you need any help with music or videos, feel free to ask! Also could have some interesting stories to share with.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some stories and a drink, if that’s appropriate.
