About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To know what I do not yet know and to understand that which I do not yet comprehend

ABOUT ME

Well, I'm a young lad who tries to get the most of this here place. I participate actively in a number of non-profit events.I guess I talk a lot aswell, but people don't seem to mind, they even pay me for it. I try to share and teach, I especially enjoy working with kids as a teacher or mentor.I also like to make things(DIY stuff), when I can find the time and willpower. I try stay fit and healthy, for none other than the great feeling that produces. Rock climbing and freediving helps with that immensely.

As any other person I love, I sing, I dance, I cry :)

PHILOSOPHY

I live, because, most of the time, I enjoy living.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love interesting stories told by interesting people. And none are more interesting than travelers. We are a different breed. Nowhere do I feel more free than when I'm surrounded by people who have know other sides of the world and known different perspectives on life. Nowhere can I feel more like myself and not be ashamed for living differently.

Interests

These days most of my recreation is done while rock climbing. I try to climb as much as my body allows me to.
I try to stay well informed on most arts and subjects yet I only actively revel in the joy that is cinema. I film when I find the inspiration.

Did I mention travel, adventure and most of all a sense of danger.

Music, Movies, and Books

In terms of music I always try to find something new. I guess to describe my taste I'd say take some lyrics from Rodriguez, mix him a bid with Devandra Banhart, add a bit of international vibe with Manu Chao and Jorge Ben Jor and top it off with some popular glittery alt-j.

Now the movies would be a long one. Since it's quickly becoming my proffession. Suffice to say on these occasions I say that my all time favorite is "The Hunt" by Thomas Vinterberg. Aside from that I love foreign cinema, I find it provides a substitute for traveling while not traveling. Oh and I can't leave out weird obscure movies from all over the globe and back home.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Nearly made it into the finals of Lithuania's got talent.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share a lot about science and technology, as well as my experiances of teching and learning. If cinema's your cup of tea, get ready for a lenghty discussion. I'm also a veritable bundle of interesting misconceptions in history, science and the like. I'd like to learn more about countercultures, music and art around the world.
