A bit crazy skinhead (tho' for a disappointment of many of you - not a bright blue anymore) - Lithuanian free bird - a dreamer - nomad - wanderlust - freaky - they call me in different names... but the best is to call me Gaja (pronounced as “Gaia/Gaya”) - with a difficult character (but I'm friendly with friendly people!), VEGETARIAN, a backpacker, hiker and hitchhiker, who tries to find mysteries of this universe out; learn about other cultures, help people, and encourage them, that they can do everything, what they dream about, without boundaries too.

When I travel - I feel alive. Absolute Freedom for me is everything.
I like to explore alone and get out of my comfort zone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to explore new places, meet locals, visit their favourite places, try to get into their shoes, learn about their culture and find differences between each of them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have a yellow (6th) belt in kyokushin karate!
Out of curiosity I did a military service in Lithuania
I walked Camino de Santiago (666 km)!
Hitchhiked more than 10,000 km in China
Had a first (yet!) cycling tour across South Korea (over 1200 km)
Walked the West Highland Way (156 km) through beautiful mountains of Scotland
Walked Kom-Emine from West to East of Bulgaria through Balkan mountains (~550km)
Flew solo from ~2000m mountain with a paraglider without a training (amazing, or crazy?)

What I Can Share with Hosts

My strange thoughts and travel stories;

My help with your daily tasks (cooking, cleaning, watering plants, taking care of pets, or painting walls… anything where the help is needed) I would be happy to do that!

Not a pro, but maybe I could do stick&poke tattoo for you 🙃
