About Me

ABOUT ME

Well... People love me or hate me. I'm striving for the first, but I have a rule not to bother others if the latter happens. Shall we go for a risk of meeting?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I love being with people. It's allways the people what makes the place (if it's not a pure breath-taking-away beauty of a landscape). One can trully "visit" a country only through a contact with people, that's what I think. I believe I also have things and experiences to to give, and it's sharing what makes a world a great place.

Music, Movies, and Books

There are too many to be be listed, but probably G. K. Chesterton and J. R. R. Tolkien would be on the top of readings. The same goes for movies, but I can mention my recent discovery of anime - it is trully amazing! The complexity of the reality shown, the development of characters, not to mention amazing sountracks. Right now I'm deep into it :) As for music - how can one list his/her music? It's nearly impossible to put it short, although one of the biggest pleasures is to share music, I'd love to do that - with you, of course, since you are reading this line :)))

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To pick one, that probably would be a journey to Siberia in persuit of specific pages of Lithuanian history. That was one amazing journey with many many different experiences.

What I Can Share with Hosts

All I have, although I don't have much while on the road. But a good mood, cooking skills and sincere conversation is allways on the menu.
