About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Rediscovering Europe!

ABOUT ME

Hey! So Im a travel photographer who spent last 5 years living in China and now on a journey to rediscover Europe. Born and raised in Lithuania, small town called Jurbarkas where I played guitar in a punk band "Biokarozija" when I was 11. Then I played in a african gospel choir in London when I was 22, good fun!

I love riding bikes and trying to stick to a plan to ride across at least one country a year on a motorbike while photographing along the way.

PHILOSOPHY

How hard can it be?!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I signed up when I started my motorbike cross america trip and if not for the kind souls I met - I wouldn't have made it. So many kind people. Its the best thing when traveling in a strange country and a unifying feeling when accepting people from other places is priceless.
