I'm 26, fascinated by life and currently studying Semiotics at Vilnius University. I've finished Pedagogical Studies, Creativity in Advertising course and before all of that I proudly defended my bachelors degree of Lithuanian philology and Spanish language. The latter was particularly difficult. It's really hard to get some sleep when you've just discovered World of Warcraft and at the same time you're really into your thesis :)

I want to think that I am open-minded, fun and curious about practically everything. Curiosity, passion and love are my driving forces. I love visiting new places and meeting new people, especially sharing, and in this one word you can put everything: cuisine, books, movies, hobbies and so on. I'm emotional, empathic, shy, a bit nerdy, and sometimes just scared and anxious about everything that in the context of eternity doesn't even matter.

My relationship with myself can be defined as "It's complicated". I am struggling of accepting me as I am, but that's what I'm working on right now - travelling, trying new things and doing all kinds of crazy stuff while challenging myself to be brave and trying to free my mind and body from the mental chains I put on it (even if it means bathing naked in a waterfall somewhere in Poland or running through the streets of London while screaming 'The Beatles' song lyrics). But even if sometimes I have a hard time dealing with myself, that does not affect my love for humanity. It's really hard to explain what it's like to love others and lack that love for yourself.

Anyway, I love being in nature, explore new places, learn, read, play video or board games, meet new people, chat and discover. So that's why I'm here :)

I think it is an interesting way to meet new people, visit spectacular places, learn some new things and grow as a person:)

Interessi

I'm kinda an art person. I enjoy music, visual arts, all kinds of literature, but above all theater and poetry. That's why I spend a lot of time reading and trying to write my own poems and short stories, I even tried (in my opinion, unsuccessfully) composing a few songs based on my poems (yep, I play guitar).

I love acting and creating decorations and costumes for theatrical performances. Right now I'm really interested in slam poetry, I've already read some of my poetry in public. I also enjoy photography (especially with old cameras), and visiting abandoned houses and buildings. My favorite time of the year is autumn, when I can fulfill the greatest stereotype of all times: curl up in a blanket with a cup of hot red tea and read while it's pouring outside :)

Oh, and board games! There's never enough of those!

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

I love to go for a walk when it's raining outside, so once I found an abandoned street and lied in the middle of it for an hour or so. I know it sounds weird, but it was amazing.

Insegna, impara, condividi

I can teach languages and literature, I even have the basic level of knitting, sowing, weaving and making jewlery. I really enjoy cooking and trying new meals, so you can also count that one in. I can also show you the basics of playing the guitar and using analog photo cameras :)

But above all I am really looking forward to learn about other countries and cultures through interesting conversations, walks and personal experiences.

Everything, starting from movies, books, music and so on and ending with food cooking, chores and everything else.
