About Me

I maintain yourself as philosopher (with hat). Not because of studying a philosophy, but for my nature and living as philosopher. I started perceive surroundings from time when I was a child with consciousness fragments of my early life. Surroundings were five floors buildings from concrete called Khrushchevs, because these were built in period of Soviet Union leader, dictator Nikita Khrushchev. Outside of these buildings, in the yard of my home (I lived on the fifth floor), sometimes I sat on the ground near the sandbox, the broken swings and thought about the world, the grass and the grasshoppers who in these days creates music. In such of this idyll I was growing up as a thinker who craves more than a simple life with simple answers. Living in silence (because I am disabled person and after independence of Lithuania I was accepted hardly by society. In Soviet Union disabled persons "did not exist") resulted in thinking about the Other. The Other is a heart of my philosophy. Besides thinking about the motherhood and death.

In short. I was finished a bachelor of history in the Vytautas Magnus University and after gap year I started studying a master of philosophy in same, my the beloved university. Now, I am working as teacher of philosophy, PhD of philosophy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For understanding the world and the Other, need to expierence that world and to perceive others. Also, to share my thoughts about the world with others. As a philosopher I am open minded person, who is trying every time to perceive everything.
