I am a freelance stylist based in Vilnius, Lithuania. I come from a smaller town in south of Lithuania, called Alytus. I concider myself a friendly, chaty, open minded person. Few years ago I got a diploma in fashion design and i've been involved in all sorts of work related to styling - from photoshoots to filming. For some time I was very focused to my work and i didn't find the time for traveling a lot, but now I want to get back to that! For a year I lived in Estonia, where I met a lot of cool people from all over the world. I love meeting new people and finding new cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don't mind staying in hostels or renting a place, but I realize that every journey is different. For some travels you just want to pay and stay, and chill, but for some you feel it is going to be dinamic trip and you want to get a bit of insight from the locals. So for me it is a lot about seeing how other people lives. Also the exchange of cultural experiences is very important. It's nice to meet locals who could tell you what is the best to see or visit or do around the city.

Interests

ARTS - Since I am a stylist, you can guess that I am also an artsy person - I enjoy visiting exibitions, going to theater and concerts. I appreciate fashion and graphic design a lot.

BIKING - I enjoy biking a lot, during the warm season I try to travel by bike as much as i can.

SNOWBOARDING - my parents started skiing and they were so hyped about that so I tried it with them and now I go snowboarding everytime I get a chance.

MOVIES - I love not only watching them, but also the making. Therefore I like meeting people who are also into that.

MUSIC - Just recently me and my friend started collecting vinyl records. I find them very inspiring! Music is an absolute nescesity in my life - I always try to have a background music and when it's not there i am not shy to create it myself :D

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to all sorts of music from jazz to hip hop. At the moment I am very much into the old jazz singers, like Nina Simone or Ella Fitzgerald, but I enjoy electronic , alternative and indie music too. The musicians I listen to nowadays include RHYE, Gill Scott Heron, Amy Winehouse, The xx, Sade...

As for the movies I could just keep on talking for hudred pages and more. But for shorter I would say my favourite directors are Wes Anderson and probably Quentino Tarantino. I love it when everything in the movie (the sound, cinematography, the costumes) comes to some sort of magical harmony. The magical harmony part is also important for me in the books. Although for the past few years my reading list consisted of the professional books, i loved Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Herman Hesse, Kurt Vonegut works...

Teach, Learn, Share

Since I come from a small country with a big history and cultural heritige, i hope to share it with other people as well. And I am also interested in learning some new things about new countries myself.
