About Me

Hi fellow travellers!

Recently I started to host new and amazing Airbnb experience of Lithuanian folk dancing and singing, check it out and let me know what do you think 😉 https://www.airbnb.com/experiences/1529321

I was born in Austria, lived there for a couple of years, but my German vocabulary consist only of "Danke", "Bite", and "Gezunhaid" :D.
Since I was quite ambitious teen I started to work at the age of 15. I used to work with various startups, also in telecommunications, renewables and tech education fields. I did my internship in New York at World Youth Alliance, promoting human dignity and defending youth rights at the United Nations.

Meanwhile I was exploring the world, travelling a lot and doing craziest things, such as hitchhiking for a month around Europe with only 150eur in my pocket.

Since I gained some experience during that time, I was invited to be a speaker at many events in Lithuania.
Here is my Tedx talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWJDSDPvWWw&t=219s

Currently I'm working with Fintech company taking a role as Head of Business Development, also investing my time into things I love, which are friends, folklore, and musical evenings.

I have a must answer question for those who want to stay with me: If you would have 100 000 000 usd in your account, if you already would have a beautiful family, if you would have travelled all around the world and visited all the countries, what would be the thing you would like to spend your time on every single day?
