My name is Darina, I was born in south of Ukraine, and raised in Lithuania. My dad is Lithuanian and mum is Ukrainian. 🇱🇹
I’m a traveler from birth. Since childhood I wandering around the world, seeking magic of the world and connecting to the nature. 🌍✨🌿
My life’s moto - “it is all about love” 💕💗💓
I would say I’m extroverted and introverted person at the same time. I love people, I love being around the people, I love dancing, eating and socialising. But I also love to meditate, sit with my thoughts, analyse myself. 💫
I’m really open minded person.
I love to cook vegan food. I’m myself am vegan for almost 10years. I worked as a head chef in an amazing vegan restaurant, and one day I hope I will open my own restaurant. 🌱🫐🫘
Also I’m deeply into arts. My current job is to create. You can see my work on sale on Instagram - art_darinaa . Also I finished art and design studies. 🎨
I’m as-well in love travelling. I love nature and different culture, as I’m myself came from mixed-cultured family.
My favourite trip was in Spain, when I did Camino de Santiago. I walked from Sevilla to Santiago. 1000km in 1 month. That was amazing, because I was able to visit every corner of the Spain, every small village and to see Spanish culture up-close. 🥾
Another favourite trip was Scotland. I traveled there only in the car for few weeks. I was eating food made on fire. I slept in my car. And washed myself in freezing waterfalls. Which made me get to know wim-hof method. Now every winter I make hole in the ice and swimming there. ❄️💦 This trip made me feel more close to nature.
I love to spend summers in my own country - Lithuanian. Lithuanian history, culture and nature is very rich and I love to be part of that. Getting closer to my roots. I love to camp in our forests, and visit spiritual festivals. Lithuania has amazing festivals! ✨🌿
Tell me your story, story about you, because you are art and it is all about love.✨
Life is too short, so let’s get to know each other and do that thing which scares you!🌀
Let’s go on that road trip, let’s go climbing, let’s go under the ice, let’s go swim at the night, let’s camp! Let’s do something fun and make some unforgettable memories!
