I am living simple and happy life. It means I enjoy small things, pause and live the moment, find beauty and love in everything 🪴

Let me give you brief introduction about myself:
I am lithuanian, living in one of the greenest (with the most forests) part of Vilnius. My job - I am software engineer, working from home for startup.

I always was trying to find a balance between active and calm lifestyle. But I think it is endless search, endless journey. More about my interests in "My interests" section but I must highlight my love to CYCLING and BIKES. I'm not professional cyclist, it just that those two wheels and handlebars are usually (if not always) all I need - it takes me to beautiful places, it allows me to feel free and it can carry some fresh baked croissants from bakery back home 🥐

People. In people I value honesty, ability to be who you are at any moment, love sharing and caring. Creativity, craziness, laughs are always welcome same as calmness, mindfulness, silence 🍂
I like to go on walks, hikes with others, prefer nature, forests, hills but city is also okay 🌆

* I will update my hosting information as soon as I come back home for a winter (it should happen in November 2022)

Music, Movies, and Books

🎵 Music - I usually listen to something what reflects my current mood or resonates with an activity which I'm doing at present moment. But in general I prefer rock, metal, guitar music, singing poetry, indie. Few bands/artists names: Loveless, Sum 41, Damien Rice, Caleb Hawley, Olafur Arnalds, Eric Clapton, Tracy Chapman.

🎬 Movies - I watch movies when I want to relax, turn off/switch my mind. Unfortunately I do not have my top 10 list - I usually good with everything with IMBD score greater than 6 🙈. Oh, and I also enjoy watching documentaries about nature, animals, psychology - always happy to hear some recommendations.

📚 Books - I have started reading more often only few years ago. I read books mostly about software engineering and everything related with this field. Recently I've read a book "Non-Violent communication a language of life" by Marshall B. Rosenberg and this book was game changer in my life - it talks that we should express and hear each other needs. I'm happy to share my GoodReads account if you're interested in what I'm reading.
