About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore the world as a child does: unhindered by fear, propelled by curiosity and a sense of discovery.

ABOUT ME

I am originally from Lithuania based in Denmark. My previous home was Copenhagen, but now I am moving to another place to study. Still in Denmark.

I prefer active life - traveling, meeting new people, going to different events. Sometimes I need to keep still: to reflect, dream and set goals. It recharges my energy.


This is the way I see myself. But our self-judgement is not always the most objective, so others eyes can see a more realistic image. From my friends I can usually hear that I am a very happy, optimistic, conflict-free, easy-going person.

PHILOSOPHY

"Don’t worry about coloring within the lines or coloring outside the lines – I say color outside the lines, you know what I mean? Color all over the page; don’t box me in! We’re in motion to the ocean. We are not land locked, I’ll tell you that..." - and that's how i feel about my current life.

On a mission to understand human mind, brain and behavior.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfed in London, Edinburgh, Rome, Paris, Brussels - all of these were amazing experiences.

I'm on couchsurfing for the feeling of freedom, the unexpected and opportunity to discover local life and outskirts. Couchsurfing leaves room for the daily surprise that colors our lives with long-lasting memories.

Interests

I have a need to be engaged in various activities and I am always up for trying something new.

My current interests that I am passionate about:

I LOVE dancing, love watching others dancing. Dance is not just movements for me - it's a spirit, passion and an important part of my life. I love Lindy Hop, Solo Jazz, Swing, Boogie-Woogie, Collegiate Shag, St. Louis Shag, House.

I like playing volleyball, but I am not a professional player.

I like doing some design with Adobe Package, some video montage. But I am just a beginner and I do it for my
pleasure.

I like being a part of organizations. During studies I belonged to ESTIEM and Youth Journalists networks.
Now I volunteer in different swing dance festivals, organize Copenhagen Lindy Exchange.

I am currently fascinated by the human brain and thinking, that's why I have recently started Cognitive
Science studies.

Didn't find a regular job after I graduated and let my soul to wander!
