I am an artist and circus performer fom Lithuania, currently living in Berlin. Most of my life I spent in a city I was born in - Kaunas. Although, I always loved traveling. Since I became a circus artist (more specificaly, fire juggler) I joined a Studio Fire Circle in 2010, when I was only 13 years old, and my life as a traveling performer had begun.
At this day I am no more a pert of a group and live in Berlin. Most of my time here I was trying to discover myself as an individual artist, discover my own style, and it wasn't easy, but not long after I found a new partner who was interested in the same things I was looking for. That is how my new collaboration project called Red Wine Ent. was born. With our fresh cabaret/circus/music show we are traveling around and showing it in the streets of big cities and in festivals everywhere we can get.
I am eager to explore the world, get new experiences and share with people the things I create.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling is one of my biggest interests in life. And I do not talk about the touristic trips, but the actual experiences of the world we live in. I have a hunger to meet interesting people, get into exiting situations, and of course, share my own part with others. I am equally interested to accept people here, in Berlin, as to be hosted by others anywhere the wind takes me.

Interests

Circus, art and traveling were always my biggest passions. If I do not practise it myself, then I am going to galleries, underground circus performances or just wandering around in my beloved Berlin and waiting of something inspiring to happen.
I also take any possibility I get to escape from the town I live in, just to get a glimpse at another little part of the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My all time greatest traveling experience (so far) happened in the island of Stromboli. That is a working vulcano island near Italy with a small completely white town at the edge of a sea. I went there as a fire performer to a Festa del Fuoco (fire festival) and spent the whole month performing in the streets of the vulcano town with fire. I also climbed the vulcano itself together with a local friend I got to know and made a fire performance with lava floting and groaning in my background. A private performance for a person who took me there.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am always eager to share whatever I can. That is, I can talk for hours about movies, music and art, I just love doing that!
I try to teach a little bit of juggling whoever is interested, it's very fun!
I cook and bake pretty good and mostly everybody says my cupcakes are the best in a world ;)
