I'm an international student (originally from Lithuania), studying economics and international security at Yale University in the U.S. I'm an aspiring entrepreneur (I have a few businesses of my own, www.primelearning.co is one you can find online), investor, particularly drawn to socially responsible business models and micro-finance solutions to economic development. I'm an avid traveler and a welcoming host (while I'm in Lithuania) - so hit me up if you'd like to meet up or crash on my couch! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and want to meet exciting people from all around the world!

Interests

Politics, economics, education systems, music, computer science, basketball. People. I know everything besides the latter must sound very boring, but I'd like to believe that I'm just bad at filling out these forms and in reality there are many more layers to me.

• animals
• books
• education
• politics
• movies
• traveling
• music
• classical music
• surfing
• sports
• basketball
• computer science
• economics
• teaching

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once, on a cruise ship in the Baltic Sea (yes, the worst possible destination for a cruise), I increased my winnings by over 2500 percent in a mini-casino, going from 20 euro cents to 5 euros ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm well-versed in history, economics and politics, and could probably offer a decent conversation. I have a broad scope of interests, ranging from classical books to sports to machine learning, and thus have an easy time communicating with people from different backgrounds. Would love to talk about entrepreneurship and socially responsible business models!

What I Can Share with Hosts

My cheerful and happy attitude towards life. My dreams and hopes. My knowledge in different spheres. My love for the world. My world-renowned culinary skills (my specialties range from breakfast cereal to baloney sandwiches)!! Also expenses.
