About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To grow and be where things happen on a big scale

ABOUT ME

I am ridiculous. And I am the magnet of ridiculous situations. Sometimes I get lost. Ok, not sometimes. I think too much. Or not at all. I never make plans. That's the reason I get lost. But while being lost I find a lot. I don't want to come back home. Actually I don't know where is my home. Not anymore. I have met a lot of amazing people. When I laugh, I laugh the hell out. Same with crying. Always 100 % everywhere. Forests kid. Yes, kid. And I cannot wait to meet you. You. With all your sins - ideas - fears - dreams - experiences - beliefs. Hi there.

PHILOSOPHY

“Listen to the mustn'ts, child.
Listen to the don'ts.
Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts.
Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me...
Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.”
― Shel Silverstein

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing mostly. When I am in Lithuania I can show you around or find you a place to stay.
Now I am somewhere/everywhere/nowhere but if you need any information about Kaunas, I will be happy to help you.
OH BY THE WAY. At the very moment I live in Dundee, Scotland. Jes, how did I get here? I love this place, so you should visit it, as well. Send me a request, and the spare key is already yours, love.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Two things - respect and honesty - and your experience will be only good

Interests

I grew up in the family of artists so I am interested in many kinds of art.

Movies.

Literature. Poetry.

Theatre.

Long-distance walks.

YOU.

Music, Movies, and Books

Alessandro Baricco 'Ocean Sea'
“-Ogni tanto mi chiedo che cosa stiamo aspettando?
-Che sia troppo tardi.”

I love Kafka, Nietzsche, Beigbeder, Baricco, Irving, Remark.

My favourite films: Pierre Schoeller 'The Minister', Miloš Forman 'One flew over the cuckoo's nest', Olivier Dahan 'La Vie En Rose', Kimberly Peirce 'Boys Don't Cry', Navot Papushado, Aharon Keshales 'Big bad wolves' But this list is filling and filling and filling...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived. And I still do.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to be patience and relaxed even in the unusual akward or ridiculous situation, how to find happiness in small things, how to see beauty in the ordinary. I can be an example how to laugh at yourself.I want to learn everything - from bravery to languages. I believe that I can learn from every single person because everyone knows something that I don't know, but I REALLY NEED TO KNOW, everyone is unique and everyone is a miracle.
You will help me to grow big big and smart smart, I am sure.
