My name is Simas, I'm 29 years old, I live and work in Vilnius, Lithuania. I'm passionate about various kinds of music, sports, cultures, finance, travel and interesting stories. I am a respectful and open-minded person.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy various kinds of music, such as:

*Hip-hop/rap - Kendrick Lamar, Slowthai, Dave, Run the Jewels, Tribe Called Quest, MF Doom
*Jazz - John Coltrane, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gilespie, Robert Glasper, Christian Scott, Badbadnotgood, Kamasi Washington
*Classical - not my everyday music but occasionally enjoy Bach, Chopin, Musorgsky and some others.
Other than that I continuously try to broaden my outlook by getting to know electronic, ambient and other genres.

My favorite movies include the ones directed by Quentin Tarantino, Martin Scorsese and Coen brothers, also many movies from A24 studio. I love tv series Succession, The Bear, Top Boy, Fargo, True Detective, Ted Lasso, Better Call Saul, Seinfeld, It's always sunny in Philly.

In terms of literature I like such authors as Bukowski, Hemingway, Remarque or Camus. Even though nowadays I read most non-fiction about finance, business or personal development

I truly love the shows and books by the late Anthony Bourdain. He inspired me so much to travel the world, eat different foods and most importantly to be open to new people and unexpected experiences.

Moved to New York for one year.
Once I took alto saxophone classes and straight away created a band with my friends.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about Lithuanian culture, history, and food. Or a bit about personal investing and the path towards financial independence. Myself I'd like to learn more about local history, food, community and culture or hear any interesting personal stories/perspectives.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my interest in new cultures and opportunities, personal stories from my life (travel and else), offer a nice conversation and respect for you and your place.
