CURRENT MISSION

Learn Swedish

ABOUT ME

Grew up in a small town in Lithuania, later moved to capital Vilnius with lovely old town. Here I studied, spent time with my great friends, enjoyed beautiful parks, cycled along the river, attended marvellous acoustic concerts and theatre plays.

After living for some time in US, Scotland, Australia and travelling in other places, finally I am trying to settle down in Stockholm.

I would describe myself as realistic/practical/positive person. Always looking for beautiful things to enjoy, challenging things to achieve, sincere people to talk, unseen places to be seen.

PHILOSOPHY

"It's not because of place, it's because of people"
"There is no path to happiness. Happiness is the path"
"Paradise is not a place to look for, but a place in your mind"

Be positive, trust yourself and become crazy about your dreams

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used to attend Vilnius CS meetings, surfed many many times, hosted in Glasgow. At the moment travellers are welcome in my home in Stockholm. I try to tell about Couch Surfing to everybody who loves traveling but doesn't know about this community.
