About Me

I am an graphic designer by the profession and traveler by passion. I quit my job (as someone says I quit the "normal life") to hit the road and meet the unknown. Maybe crazy, maybe not, we are all here for a reason. Mine is to taste and try out the world among us. To inspire & be inspired.

Traveling for me is not a question of holidays. For me it is a state of mind, an attitude, an inspiration and the purpose. I measure happiness not by the amount in the bank account or the fancy titles in resume. I measure it by the number of people I could die for.

I am a person who sees joy in small things. I am crazy about birds, nature is my home and I like laughing/smiling a lot. I am flexible person, with sometimes strong opinions. I like to eat & prepare good food and sleep in random places. Caves, beaches, desserts, fields are my 5-billion-star hotels.

What I Can Share with Hosts

When I travel I really enjoy exchanging music and films. I am comming from a small country of only 3 mln people, but with rich culture. And most of the time I have lithuanian music, books (in english) or movies.

I like to cook. And I would like to cook for my hosts. I can prepare traditional lithuanian meals - which are mainly potatoes and meat, but we also have some weard stuff like hemp pies, acorn coffee or guts of the pig :D. I also like preparing indian food (maybe more than lithuanian:D).
