About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel,meet new people, share ideas, communicate, explore... and many many other things

ABOUT ME

People say that the more you laugh, the more you live. In my oppinon,laughter is a universal language and the best way to communicate with others. So I try to find at least something good that makes me laugh even in desperate situations.

I always prefer to see a comedy than a horror movie:)

PHILOSOPHY

There is an old saying - what goes around comes around. The world is round so every thing you say or do finally comes back to you in the end :))

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm still learning how to use a couch...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had only one CS experience when me and about fifteen of my classmates went to Scotland and few great guys not only hosted us but also showed a city for us. That was the first time i realised that CS could be fun and at the some time save you a lot of money :)

Interests

First of all, I love music. I've been playing classical guitar since first grade. I listen to music every day, even at work ( I work as a journalist) I spent at least half of my work time writing articles and at the same time wearing headphones and listening to music. Mostly electronic, but sometimes I can listen to good rock, old 80's disco or classical music.

Another thing that matters to me are ideas, creative ones. And one of the best places to find them, share them and spread them is TED community (ted.com). Everything man has ever created started with idea. I try to go to such conferences and similar events - after them I see life differently.

And finally, i like fishing! Nothing relaxes me more than fishing with good friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of most amazing experiences I've had whilwe traveling was in Spain - me and 5 friends went to Spain and for two weeks we have been sleeping only outside having no tent, only our sleeping bags. We've got stolen twice there, we've got wet a couple of times... And finally at the end of the trip homeless man saw that i was shaving my beard and i had no shaving - cream, so he offered it to me:)) I' ve realized that the line between you and homeless can be very thin :))

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm working as a journalist, I write on economics.

I am interested in emigration causes and effects and I know something in general about journalism in Lithuania and the Baltics.

I can teach you how to play a guitar :)
