About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I believe in miracles.

ABOUT ME

I'm crazy for horses as long as I can remmember myself.
commonly, I can't sit in one place. I'm eager for travelling and hitchhiking.

During recent years I've changed my living place and I could say my lifestyle. I moved out from Lithuania cities (I was living in two biggest cities of Lithuania) and now the place I'm living in I could easily call a 'place of Nowhere', which is in Denmark, close to the North sea. The nearest town is in 5km distance. You would guess that I'm missing city life, which is very true, but on the other hand I enjoy very much of what I'm doing, so there's not much time left to cry for cosmopolitan advantages. But what is it I'm talking about? I started studying in Det Nødvendige Seminarium, which means "The Necessary Teacher's Training College". It is quite hard to describe my studies in a couple of words, but shortly I could say that my studies consist of studying, travelling and doing social work. All those three things are combined in my studies’ program which makes it 24/7, which means more challenges. And the challenges are the thing that I was missing in my previous life. Meanwhile now I feel I’m livingïÅ

PHILOSOPHY

It's better to be sorry for things you have done, than for those you haven't.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I cannot say that I'm very active member of CS. On the other hand, I've been in several CS gatherings and I liked them a lot.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It has happened that I was hosted many times, but I haven't host anyone via CS yet. It's kinda a pity, but I got requests when I was somewere out. A bit strange:)
Anyway, I think it's a great thing as you can know someone better in this way.

Interests

Photography, horse riding, travelling, hitchhiking, chatting, music, summer, nightlife, volunteering, being with old best friends and meeting new ones and many other things that I can't remmember right now;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was deported from Turkey:) it wasn't my fault, but I'm happy I could experienced it.
Slept under the bridge in Poland, as I didn't get to the right place on time:)
But all impressions are priceless for me.

Teach, Learn, Share
