About Me

I have always liked traveling abroad and meeting new people. My first trip for a long period of time to another country was to Malta when I was 17. After this, I was several years without living abroad while studying at university and only took trips to other countries for short holidays.

In 2016 I moved to Lithuania and my stay there changed completely my mind about the world. I remembered how nice is meet people from different countries and know other cultures, make friends, and also, that it's better to do it learning languages. It was in Lithuania where I met a lot of couchsurfers and where I started to host people.

After Lithuania, I wanted to improve my English more, so I decided to move to Manchester where I live now. I like to meet new people and travel around Europa and America. I'm very friendly and I prefer to spend my free time with good company, speaking in a quiet cafe, having some beers, or just going for a walk. The important thing is the company. I know that the best way to help people is doing simple things and that is the main reason because I use Couchsurfing.
