About Me

Still yet to have my first couchsurfing experience!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To... (badum-tss) surf couches.
No, just kidding. Nothing like that.

Honestly, it looks like a great way to get away from the boring touristy travelling (and also help others get away from it too), but I've yet to see for myself.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
So much of it! From classical to classic rock, from death metal to ambient and beyond. However, some favourite bands/artists/composers include:
Type O Negative; Queen; Led Zeppelin; Depeche Mode; Lana del Rey; O. Messiaen; Dream Theater; Pain of Salvation; Blind Guardian; Necrophagist; Access to Arasaka; the list goes on...

Books: among many others, Discworld and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy stand out as some of the more memorable favourites. Really liked the atmosphere of H. P. Lovecraft's stories, too.
I have an interest in avoiding logical fallacies and biases in my thinking, so on the non-fiction side, Thinking: Fast and Slow made a lasting impression.

Movies: Stalker by Tarkovskiy

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While playing a show with a band, jumped off the stage onto a set a PA speaker near the stage and played the whole song standing on the ~2m high speaker while trying to keep my balance and not fall down

Teach, Learn, Share

I guess I'm slightly above average in dealing with computers and electronics, so if some device near your couch is giving you trouble, let me know!
I can teach you to sing some Lithuanian folk songs. Depending on who you are, they may or may not sound interesting and/or exotic.
I'm slightly introverted, so I would love to learn to communicate more openly and vividly.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm adaptable (or at least I hope so), so I will do my best to find something to share with anyone.
However, it's likely to be easier if there's music involved in one way or another!
