ABOUT ME

PLEASE READ MY PROFILE BEFOR SENDING REQUEST. NOW WE DONT LIVE IN VILNIUS CENTER. WE HAVE MOVED TO OLD HOUSE IN FOREST NEAR VILNIUS. TRANSPORT ONLY BY CAR.

I traveled a lot in Russian mountains, when I was a student. I've been a member of Vilnius University`s hiking club. I've also studied for one year in Swiss. Now I'm a mother of three children (2004, 2008 and 2012) and have a very little time for myself and have little ability to travel. I try to use every possibility.

I'm an open-minded, friendly and positive.

I enjoy listening to other people's "stories" of their lives and memories. I am more an introvert so I am a better listener than a speaker. I like silence even if I don't have silence at home.

I like to spend time with my kids. I am interested in attachment parenting, long breastfeeding, cloth diapering, Baby-led weaning, ecological and simple life.

I enjoy doing handcrafts in my free time. I like skiing, hiking, gardening, orchids.

I'm usually quite busy with work and children but I'll be happy to help you enjoy your stay as much as I can.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't live sadly, be not sorry that was, protect that is (Не живи уныло, не жалей что было, береги что есть)

Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, Today is a gift, that's why it's called the present.

Aim for great idea, but enjoy a small pleasures.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: I like movies with a good story, suspense, romantic comedies, life drama, dance etc. I like Russian films and old good cartoons.

Books: I like reading but usually I don't have time for reading. I read about parenting, life, love, morale, psychology, travel. I like Jodi Picoult, Herbjorg Wassmo, Susanna Kubelka. My favorite books: "Man and Boy" and "Man and Wife" by Tony Parsons, "A Glass of Milk" by Herbjorg Wassmo, "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho. My last read book: "Diaper Free: The Gentle Wisdom of Natural Infant Hygiene' by Ingrid Bauer.

MICHAEL BUBLE "Save the last dance for me"
I usually listen to the music the kids have turned on . I can`t stand the music when I am working. I am not a music expert. I like silence music, classic too. My daughter are going to music school and plays the piano.
