About Me

CURRENT MISSION

New York City - such a beautiful disease

ABOUT ME

I'm thirsty for new experience. I take friendships seriously. Love chocolate and Swedish meatballs with lingonberry sauce, as served in the NYC restaurant where I work. I dream of speaking French fluently one day. Have read all of the Harry Potter books and seen all seasons of Sex and the City. Love Vilnius, because it's my native, extremely beautiful city, and New York, because it's huge, lively, exciting and a place where I feel at home.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did a year long journalism program in two countries. The people in "Europe in the World" were from all over the world and became my family.
After graduating from university in Vilnius, I packed my bags and went to live to New York. This is an ongoing adventure, and the best one so far.
