About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore! To stay curious and open to new people/places/experiences, to develop some new skills and find new passions!

ABOUT ME

I love working with people, whether they are 2 year-old (I freelance as a teacher in infant academy), children (have been working in children camps for many years), youngsters & adults (I'm currently working with international projects) or seniors (starting to implement a new project of re-involving older generations into society!). For a half of a year I lived in my beloved country France and worked as an au pair. I am constantly traveling around Europe. I have also been in Mexico twice. China, Senegal, Gambia, Honduras, Costa Rica, El Salvador and the USA. My current position is a project manager in Active Youth Association (https://activeyouth.lt/?lang=en).

My motto - "I think therefore I am!" has changed into "I love therefore I am!". As a practising Christian I started to learn to give myself to others, love unconditionally and do what my heart tells me to do (also go where it leads). I have never felt as good as now!

PHILOSOPHY

All my life is about searching and trying to understand what is needed to be happy, gathering experiences and making deep connections with the others. I always let myself be amazed by how everything is connected in inscrutable ways!

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I travel a lot, so I am always very happy to be hosted by nice local people! Every experience I had was positive so I am sure I'll continue to do this. For now I don't have a possibilty to host because I live at the monastery :) But I am always up for a meeting!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a bit about psychology :) I can be a good listener and share some insights. I want to learn everything that you think is useful and/or interesting! Recently I fell in love with lindy hop so if you dance - I am all yours for that! I love discussions concerning philosophical, existential topics, such as limits of our understanding, meaning of our life, religion etc. But it doesn't mean I don't like nice simple conversations!

What I Can Share with Hosts

'Good vibes', positive attitude, interesting stories, passion for life, friendship, sandwiches, lullaby before sleep etc.
