Hi everyone!

I´m Gabi, a Lithuanian girl who studies Politics and International Studies at the University of Warwick in England and is now living her Erasmus year in Madrid (which is awesomeee!). If I had to describe myself (which I have to do now hahaha), I would begin by saying that I´m a very open-minded person. The crucial change in my life happened when I started studying abroad - since then I´ve met a lot of people from all over the world, all with different stories and attitudes. I´ve had various experiences, laughed and cried a lot. And now I feel happy and grateful for every single moment I´ve lived. I understood that the most amazing thing is to travel, meet people, experience, love and share love - there is probably no bigger meaning we can find in this life :)

Apart from this deep philosophical introduction, I think I´m a very friendly and funny person. I´m also very very emotional, sensitive, diverse and a complete dreamer. I think I have an artist soul (which often makes it difficult to study about political institutions... one of the dilemmas of my life haha). I like different kinds of people, I´m happy to listen about their lifes, hobbies and dreams, even if they are completely different from mine. Moving on to the more intimate details about me, I love coffee, chocolate and wine (basically, food hahaha) :) I´m a singer so it´s hard for me to survive without music for more than a few hours.
Every experience, place and person has a sound for me. Ahh, I could talk about this for ages... In short, music is magic for me! If you want to have a look, this is my youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmTq-mOGaOMYn4OM7c32RZA

There is a lot more I could tell about myself, probably not everything is is worth listening to hahaha! If we meet and you don´t get bored after 5 minutes, I can tell you more (sounds like an advertisement haha)!
I will finish here with a lot of dots......... (intriguing) hahahahaha.

I´m looking forward to see you, wonderful people! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel to different countries, meet new people and share each other´s experiences. I love diversity, meeting interesting people and listening to their stories - then I always feel happy and inspired!
