About Me

Lithuanian girl, currently living in The Hague and working in #Comms, finished International Politics and Development studies. During my university years, I had a chance to make international exchanges in Paris and Sarajevo, which was on of the most life-changing experiences. After my Erasmus+ traveled everywhere possible: (mostly to conferences or other Erasmus+ projects) to Northern Africa, Georgia, Central Europe, etc.

Music, Movies, and Books

Since I've just returned from Senegal, a huge part of my playlists is made of African beats. My guilty pleasure is also Eurovision :) BUT normally, I am a fan of Indie music, as well as electro. Currently on my playlist are such artists as Foals, Stromae, CRO, the Avener, the Glass Animals, Alt-J, Rudimental, Chet Faker. Oh, and live music will always be the winner!
Talking about movies, I would always enjoy shocking movies, which mess up my mind, such as Memento, the Illusionist, the Prestige, Requiem for a dream, Fight Club, Shutter Island and so on.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Did a hiking trip of 325km in the Northern Spain. Lived for 3 weeks in a Senegalese family, which was a part of an Erasmus+ project. Traveled around western Europe, mostly hitchhiking Berlin-Amsterdam-Hague-Antwerpen-Brussels-Brest-Rennes-Paris.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach about the history of Lithuania, the language, cultural things as well as I could share my knowledge on French culture, from what I've learnt during my exchange in France. But mostly, I'm here to learn!
