About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Host, host and host. Tried surfing just a little bit. Can I still qualify for that after 3 weeks of surfing in The States? :D

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It is amazing with just a few exceptions. But, on the other hand, even the bad ones are good, because they make funny stories to laugh about later :-D

Interests

Everything active that gets my adrenaline level up, except motobikes and car racing. Just to name some: rafting, skydiving, bungee-jumping, horseback riding, wakeboarding. And spending time closer to nature with activities like diving, hiking, boat-trips, beach volleyball, teniss, etc.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love childrens' books - I used to read bed night stories to my sons almost every night, so... And the same makes me quite an expert on animated movies :))

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

See amazing things just about everyday and enjoy them.
But the latest ones and not so everyday are Zenobia dive in Cyprus, climbing mount Toubkal during winter time - the highest peak of High Atlas mountains reaching up till 4167m (P.S. our altimeter showed 4188m).
Plus brethtaking rafting sessions in river Amata (Latvia) and White River (Turkey). Experienced an earthquake in Lativa - OMG!!! )))
I would add my for now only tandem skydive experience from 4km height here, too.
By far the most extreme one is CS marriage with Vicky, LOL

Teach, Learn, Share

Do you know how to prepare home-made champange out of birch sap? Just ask me and if you do not know how to get birch sap or haven't even tried it - I am open to fill this blank in for you :)
I am also open to share all I know about any of my listed hobbies.
I would like to learn kite-boarding and jumping with ropes (similar to bungee-jumping), but it is banned in Latvia :(

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hospitality, advice, good food, stories, fun time playing board games, sometimes Latvian sauna rituals
