Hey!
I’m Svaja, I currently study art history in Lithuania, will be beginning my studies of contemporary dance next fall. My life is greatly surrounded by dance, art, theatre and music. Since a young age I’ve been playing violin in bands and ensembles, also dancing, performing with Lithuanian folk.

Currently I’m focusing on training in contemporary dance and enjoying travelling during my break.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Currently, I am taking a gap year in between my studies as I’ll be changing my studies. During my gap year I am looking to travel and explore! The reason why I'm on couchsurfing is because I believe that the biggest treasure of traveling is the people you meet. I really wish to spend more time being with people and creating warm and meaningful memories, and bonds!

Music, Movies, and Books

I really love modern jazz, soul, Lithuanian rock ... but generally I listen to everything.

I rarely watch movies, but always love to discover interesting films. Recently I absolutely loved ‘Past Lives’.

On my free time I enjoy reading Japanese literature, but recently I’ve been trying to read more philosophy, books about religion and perhaps less fiction books. Always down for any book recommendations.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 12 years old, I visited 12 countries in 12 days, while playing violin and dancing in festivals with the team from my music and dance school.
