Overview
About Me
I'm a happy mom of three (all grown up!). I love traveling in all kinds of ways but camping and kayaking are my favorites. Back in my teenage years, I was really into pen palling, but now that the whole world fits in your phone and traveling is easier than ever, I’ve swapped letters for meeting new friends face-to-face.
Oh, and I also volunteer as a phone counselor for the Children's Helpline! 😊
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love to meet and know different places, people and cultures.
TWO IMPORTANT THINGS about me and my home:
1. I often receive many messages with very broad questions like “What can I do in Lithuania?” or “What are the prices in Lithuania?”
I’m happy to help, but I kindly ask you to do a bit of research first and then let me know specific things you’re interested in (e.g.: nature, museums, food, history, culture, art, etc.). If I know more about a particular topic, I will gladly share useful links, tips, or personal recommendations.
Answering very general questions takes a lot of time, as it would mean listing all possible activities in Lithuania or constantly updating prices. I'm not a tour guide. Many of these general questions can be easily answered by ChatGPT.
2. My home is not a free hotel. I’m happy to host, but I expect friendly and respectful communication. If you are coming to Vilnius to look for a job or need help settling in long-term, I’m probably not the right host for you. My home is open to true Couchsurfing community members who value cultural exchange and mutual respect.
Thank you for understanding.
Interests
I love nature and can walk all day long, long, long... 😄
I'm a certified forest bathing guide and absolutely enjoy wild camping with kids and hiking with teenagers—it's one of my favorite activities now.
Also, a beginner at bachata, but loving the journey!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I used to be afraid of the dark… so... I went on a night tour in the swamp. And a night kayaking trip. 😅 But I did it—and I loved it! 🌙✨🚣♀️
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you how to make a natural beeswax candle or whip up some delicious Lithuanian pancakes with cottage cheese! 😉. Just let me know if you are interested in it!
If we go for a walk together in Vilnius, I’ll tell you stories about my city.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Private room.
If you arrive by car, we can go to the forest to pick up mushrooms together if you like it and if you arrive in August-September. Or to swim in the lakes in summertime. Or more. There are so many things to do in Lithuania!
