About Me

Most of the time I am enthusiastic, spontaneous and impulsive. I love my job, my casual life. I like new beginnings. When it is possible to ignore all the failures and start once again with new energy.

PHILOSOPHY

If life gives you lemons make lemonade, but if life gives you limes - make MARGARITAS!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I Surf, host, and happy to show around. At the moment I host much more than surf myself. Very excited to meet traveling people and welcome them in Vilnius.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It is a long time I know CS is a great idea. For almost seven years I have been travelling and meeting people this way.

Interests

I love theater, spending time outdoors, discovering new places in Lithuania and of course travelling abroad. Hitch-hiking is the best way to travel and get to know the way people think and live. I hitch-hiked a fair share in my early 20s.
Also, I am interested in sociology, anthropology, learning and exploring new things, cultures, and various topics. Therefore, I love podcasts, documentaries, interviewing people, and having dinner with a good company.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: distopian novels (Huxley, Orwell, Bradbury, Vonnegut), biographies, classical fiction (Dostoevsky, Dumas, Dickens, Camus, Austin, Remarque, etc.).

Movies: I saw many films about World War II. Trying to follow European films. I am tv shows addict: I spend way too much time watching Netflix. I looooove documentaries a lot.

I do not have consistent taste in music. I like current pop music, indie rock from two last decades, 20th century rock and roll, Lithuanian pop music from 90's, etc. I can sing along with Robbie Williams, Kooks, David Gray, Cure, Oasis, Eddie Vedder, Billy Idol.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Eight years ago I hitch-hiked and couchsurfed with my mom in Belgium. That was amazing thing to do together. We stayed with two wonderful women and keep in touch until now.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach to count till 10 in Japanese! I can share basic facts about Lithuanian political situation, history, mentality. Also, I can teach how to make cheese cake and cold pink Lithuanian soup.

I would love to learn how to solve Rubik's Cube, improve language skills, cook a new meal, and play billiards/pool.

What I Can Share with Hosts

At the moment I can offer my company to explore Vilnius, have dinner or drinks together.
