ABOUT ME

Hello, I am Giedrius and I want to admit that I have a problem... I am an addict... My addiction is traveling. Seriously, when I've got tickets somewhere and start planning the trip, I feel like a child last night before Christmas, who knows that next day, after whole year of waiting, he will find a lot of presents and he'll be luckiest kid on the earth.

PHILOSOPHY

"Some people are so poor... all they have is money"

"Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer"

"And in the end it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years." - Abraham Lincoln

"What does not kill me, makes me stronger." - Friedrich Nietzsche

"The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time." - Jack London

"If you live your life fully, you will die only once. But if you are scared of every step, fear will kill you day after day." - Paulo Coelho

"Borders? I have never seen one. But I have heard they exist in the minds of some people." - Thor Heyerdahl

"“The traveler sees what he sees. The tourist sees what he has come to see." G.K. Chesterton

"Become friends with people who aren’t your age. Hang out with people whose first language isn’t the same as yours. Get to know someone who doesn’t come from your social class. This is how you see the world. This is how you grow."

Interesses

I am interested in various types of sport (bodybuilding, swimming, football, volleyball, bicycle-sport, chess), like watching movies, getting to know new people and cultures.

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz

From every trip I remember something amazing and it's impossible distinguish only one thing:
I was cliff diving in Malta, sandboarding (not snowboarding), watching sky full of the brightest stars I ever seen and waiting for the sunrise later in Sahara, spending night on the roof of Oslo opera, playing volleyball at +4ºC temperature barefoot in Denmark, just laying in Terme di Saturnia near Rome, enjoying awesome view of Rome from the top of St. Peter's Basilica, surfing waves in Atlantic ocean, swimming in frozen lake after Finnish sauna, wind surfing, scuba diving and rafting in Turkey, standing on the top of Arc de Triomphe in Paris during the snowstorm, driving dirtbike in offroad of Thailand island, swimming in the sea full of fluorescent plankton at night in Cambodia, driving like crazy in Sardinia's mountains, flying with small propeller plane over Georgia's mountains, building little dam in Cyprus, sleeping without tent under stars with jackals howling nearby in Israel, ziplining over Dnipro river in Kiev, rolling the rocks down the mountain in Georgia... to be continued.
