I am an active and open-minded person who loves to learn about life through first-hand experiences. I am have a bachelor degree in Journalism Vilnius and also also work as a radio correspondent, live show host and a news presenter in Lithuanian National Radio and Television.

As an ex-musician I love discussing about music, bands, performances, etc. And of course, other arts. Political affairs (especially foreign politics) is also one of the subjects I prefer as I believe that civic liability and prosperity depends on every individual.

One of my recent discoveries of enjoyment is Urban Exploration - exploration of derelict, abandoned man-made structures. That's right - I call myself a city mole, as I love wondering in places that are usually not marked in tourist maps or even well-known to local societies. Bunkers, desolated factories, fortifications, religious places, etc. - everything that has a thoughtful touch of history and culture can be considered as subject of my interest. If you wish to experience culture - you have to see it from both sides, even from the 'rusty' one. At least that's what I think :)

All in all, traveling, learning and meeting new people from all around the world - that's what keeps me going whatever life throws at me.
