CURRENT MISSION

Update Couchsurfing profile and get back to Slow Living :)

ABOUT ME

Unfortunately I am not able to host people anymore due to family reasons, but will try to do to it soon again.

PHILOSOPHY

Take maximum from every day, but at the same time collect some power to take even more next day!

One day I woke up and realized that I will be like this until the day I die. So I'm gone, I am not here :) I am searching for something different, something more beautiful, something more dangerous! :)

Interests

[NOT UPDATED SINCE 2010]
My interests really changes from time to time, but some of them stay for a longer time ;)
For example, I like urban life and everything related to it.
Constantly meet new people, but not to forget old ones :)
Different languages and geography.
I like big cities. The bigger city is, the more opportunities you have.
Also, I am collecting Nice Riga Pictures :)
