ABOUT ME

Smallish and beardy. Calm and collected. Polite and helpful. If I'm not, it probably means I like you. I'm a rather adventurous and curious one, though I tend not to show it, or admit it. I enjoy exploring new places and hunting for new experiences.

I also like watching and listening to people in public places, I'm always on the look out for funny and quirky interactions that break the daily routine; I love spotting those. And even though I'm not much of a people person, I enjoy meeting interesting characters and love listening to their stories and the way they tell them.

Oh, and I love teasing people! If I do that to you, it means I really like you!

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm just starting out and hoping that I'll have something to fill this box with soon!

Interests

Bouldering & rock climbing, though I started out recently, I fell in love with it. Dungeons & Dragons (and other RPGs), table top gaming and other nerdiness, as well as love for SF & fantasy in general - a passion instilled in me by my parents, before I could talk or walk properly. And storytelling in general! Always love to hear or tell a good story, doesn't even have to be real one! Also cinema, always love a good movie, or a bad one, if it's like Plan 9 from Outer Space. History, international law & politics - interests I failed to drop after finishing my studies. Oh, oh! Pirates! The classic ones and Somali ones! Aaaaand pop culture & internet, of course. Though these might just be an addiction. Almost forgot, cooking! When I'm not too lazy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Survived onslaughts of mosquito swarms in summertime Finland.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you the basics of Lithuanian and give you a primer on Lithuanian law, if you have trouble falling asleep or just have some odd interests. I can share how fun and great climbing is and encourage you try that out. And I can also tell you extensively why pirates are better than ninjas.
