About Me

I am young, enthusiastic, open-minded and free spirited 19 year old guy from Kaunas, Lithuania. Currently living in Newcastle upon Tyne in England!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since my early age, I had the passion to move. Running, cycling, walking, swimming, didn't matter. I had and I still have a problem to sit in one place for a long period of time. When I was about 15, I became really interested in travelling. I read books, articles, watched movies, and everyday I dreamed of travelling around the world. And know, when I managed to earn money, finish school and turn 18, I was able to join CouchSurfing, which I see as a perfect way to travel the world and meet new people.

Interests

- I am a huge fan of sports. American football ,baseball, basketball, football basically I watch everything that includes moving. Some of my favorite teams are Oakland Athletics, Los Angeles Dodgers, Indiana Pacers, Dallas Cowboys, Baltimore Ravens.
- I call myself an amateur runner. I like long-distance running as it helps me to escape everyday life and I like pushing myself to the very limits of my body.
-Travelling I have to be thankful to my mom for this. She gave me the love of exploring the world, only because of her I was able to go to foreign countries and this passion is still alive today, that's why I'm here.
-Reading. More about my favorite books in next section.
-Computers/IT.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walked a 100 kilometer hike in 26hours along the coastline of Lithuania this spring. Both physically and mentally hardest thing of my life!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm still very young, so I'm more interested in learning. I'm very fascinated by listening to other people's stories and experiences. I want to learn how other people live, how they deal with problems, how they communicate, how they behave in everyday life. I want to learn about everything and therefore to expand my horizon!
