About Me

Welcome to Riga
If you are already here, feel free to ask me about free stuff in Riga (taxi free rides, food and bar discounts, accommodation discounts, free activities in the city)

Even though I have quite a lot of references, I am not the CS Daddy. I don't have a million rules and I am not about to teach others the only one right way to use the CouchSurfing. Relax :)

If you are in the city and wanna meet/get hosted and watch around together, prepare your running suit. Yes, we will have running sightseeing around unusual places to discover!

Glad to any requests, make a preference to:
- SEO and Marketing specialists
- Beatmakers and other people working in a field of music
- People want to play football, chess or HMM III
- People with really unusual professional, sport or life background (traveling does not count, here on CS everyone is a traveler)
- People coming to hangout
- Very young backpackers without any money (remind me of myself being young and how much I appreciated people's hospitality)
- Solo travelers really skilled or knowledgable in some serious stuff (physics, math, chemistry, biology, math, specific crafts, etc.)

Zashishayushiysya is a code word you should put in the request in order to make me sure you have read the description.
I prefer to host solo-travelers or groups of 4+ people. 2-3 people are OK either, but make sure it will not be in ''us and them'' mode :)
Also, I prefer to host people whose trip is visiting Latvia (only) for 4-7 days. Of course, it's also optional.

Everything is up to our mutual interests. If you are just about to hangout, it could be that way:
If you are a guy, we can drink a few hours and go outside to pick up girls (I live straight in the Old Town, so it's straight here). I will teach you or just pick some for both of us, don't worry.
Girls, don't worry either: I don't have a sex shortage.
Actually, hosting the person on the CS is the reason I skipping daily sex, therefore, if you got hosted by me, you may be proud about how much I am interested in you, guys.

BTW, I don't use Couchsurfing as tinder, but if I am into the person, romantic stuff itself does not prohibit by CS.

It's not necessary to go out in case you can manage other special activities. E.g., I really like to play football games with a single or very few partners.

What we will do together?
The perfect thing would be to do something we both interested in, like running, football, beatmaking.

If not, then:
- Long conversation drinking beer/cider/wine specific sorts of tea/coffee I ll prepare if you are a solo traveler
- Alco party/Sports games, if you are a group of people
- Sightseeing by running
Other options are welcome.

Please, don't bring me your local souvenirs and other stuff I'll never use. Your special stay shall be the very best reminder about you. If you are about to bring something, bring something for future CS events: hygienic stuff, plates/glasses (imagine how often they are crashing), a box of beer (BEER!), etc.

Feel free to text me. If you have read the description, I already appreciate that :)

When you will leave a reference, make sure you want to write something new that has not been written in existing references yet. Otherwise better write nothing in order to people could easier understand who I am.
И не называйте меня Эндрю в отзывах :) Меня зовут Андрей!
