Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I donate, I am a potential guest, and I offer a place to stay in Riga when I can
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have hosted many people here in Riga both in and out of CS, and I had a wonderful experience being a guest of many generous hosts.
For me surfing is more a matter of a life style, as I can afford staying at a hotel, but meeting people is much more exciting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
they are so many.. People and new places are best to get to know in unusual situations, which I had aplenty :)
just some examples:
I have organised an art-banking service in Riga, the first in the Eastern part of EU, and ran it for two years
I had a flight with single-motor Cessna to Zanzibar
I bid good-bye to the sun at the Arpoador beach in Rio de Janeiro in the nude
I searched Ural Mountains in Russia for UFO
I fed raw meat to a lion ...
