Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Make the most out of my time here, there, or anywhere.
ABOUT ME
Quirky, fun, always looking for new and exciting things to do, spontaneous, athletic. I'm a medical student living in Boston finishing my first year. I spent the first half of my life in Lithuania (Vilnius) and moved to the San Francisco area for the second. I only moved to Boston recently for school.
PHILOSOPHY
Be open-minded - you never know what amazing things you will find. Banksy once said "I mean, they say you die twice. One time when you stop breathing and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody says your name for the last time." You live on in the legacy you leave.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I've hosted a friend of mine when he was on a 4 month couchsurfing trip and I've attended several meetups in the past. So far it's been a blast! I will be travelling through Europe this June and trying to couchsurf as much of it as possible.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've only had the chance to come out to a few meetups when living back in California, but I'm excited for a trip through Europe this summer!
Interests
Medicine, photography, dragon boat, music (guitar), travel, the outdoors. I spend my days paddling out on the Charles River or rock climbing. I love challenging myself with events like Tough Mudder and the like. In general, I can't sit still in one place for too long before getting bored, so I'm always on the move. Whenever I get the chance I travel to different locations (I'm in NYC at least once a month).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Almost any day working in hospitals is full of amazing things, so too many to count. From life to death, from sadness to happiness and joy. Too many specific events come to mind, so I won't list them out here.
On another note, moving to the US from Lithuania when I was 11 was one of the most difficult things I've ever done.
