About Me

Hi, I’m Andrew. I’m a kids book author of Conscious Bedtime Stories, a healer and creativity coach who loves meaningful conversation, all things creative, and a good cup of tea. I split my time between writing, working with people, and building projects that help others feel more connected to themselves and each other.

I’m drawn to places with a sense of community, nature, and a bit of soul. I enjoy simple things — walks, shared meals, music, and honest conversations about life. I’m equally happy having a quiet evening or joining in something playful and social.

I’ve had the chance to travel and meet people from many different backgrounds, and I value kindness, respect, and openness above all. I’m easy to live with, clean, and appreciative of any space I’m welcomed into.

If we cross paths, I’d love to share stories, learn something new, and contribute where I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Its been a few years since I last couch surfed and experienced great generosity of the Lithuanian community. I finally have my own home and can offer to reciprocate. (I had to set up this new account because all my emails have changed)

Its always been my preference to meet people rather than stay alone. Often that looks like hostels or camp sites, but there is something wonderful about surfing.

I’m heading to the Bologna Book Fair and chose Couchsurfing so I can meet people locally rather than just stay in a hotel. It also helps me keep costs down while traveling - while enriching my trip with warm conversations and meals.
