My name is Darina, I was born in south of Ukraine, and raised in Lithuania. My dad is Lithuanian and mum is Ukrainian. 🇱🇹
I’m a traveler from birth. Since childhood I wandering around the world, seeking magic of the world and connecting to the nature.
My life’s moto - “it is all about love”
I would say I’m extroverted and introverted person at the same time. I love people, I love being around the people, I love dancing, eating and socialising. But I also love to meditate, sit with my thoughts, analyse myself.
I’m really open minded person.
I love to cook vegan food. I’m myself am vegan for almost 10years. I worked as a head chef in an amazing vegan restaurant, and one day I hope I will open my own restaurant. 🫐🫘
Also I’m deeply into arts. My current job is to create. You can see my work on sale on Instagram - art_darinaa . Also I finished art and design studies.
I’m as-well in love travelling. I love nature and different culture, as I’m myself came from mixed-cultured family.
My favourite trip was in Spain, when I did Camino de Santiago. I walked from Sevilla to Santiago. 1000km in 1 month. That was amazing, because I was able to visit every corner of the Spain, every small village and to see Spanish culture up-close. 🥾
Another favourite trip was Scotland. I traveled there only in the car for few weeks. I was eating food made on fire. I slept in my car. And washed myself in freezing waterfalls. Which made me get to know wim-hof method. Now every winter I make hole in the ice and swimming there. ️ This trip made me feel more close to nature.
I love to spend summers in my own country - Lithuanian. Lithuanian history, culture and nature is very rich and I love to be part of that. Getting closer to my roots. I love to camp in our forests, and visit spiritual festivals. Lithuania has amazing festivals!
Tell me your story, story about you, because you are art and it is all about love.
Life is too short, so let’s get to know each other and do that thing which scares you!
Let’s go on that road trip, let’s go climbing, let’s go under the ice, let’s go swim at the night, let’s camp! Let’s do something fun and make some unforgettable memories!
