About Me

It's better to live one day as a lion than a hundred years as a sheep. Italian proverb, which describes me the best. I'm a person, who tends to take risks, dreams a lot, values braveness, sincerity, kindness, dignity, freedom.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I'm not a good hitch-hiker and during it I spend too much money. After that the only solution is to switch hostels into apartments of friendly people... :)) I'm also interested in finding personal stories of the places that I visit. I believe that couchsurfing hosts can share such stories.

Interests

Hstory, politics, international relations, geopolitics, EU, its integration and especially foreign policy, travelling, gym, rock-climbing, hiking, basketball, literature, writing, chess.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Broke my chest bone, while jumping from 15 m cliff in Paradise Valley, Morocco, took 3 flights back to Lithuania, defended my final BA thesis, celebrated it and only then went to the hospital to check the source of pain.

Teach, Learn, Share

I ussually know a lot about places where I live or used to live, so I can tell a lot about them, their history, social problems, most wonderful places, etc.

My proactiveness, stories from the road, attitudes towards global issues, make them into characters of my worthless writings :)
