Hello,

My name is Albinas (don`t try to pronounce it, sometimes it`s more of a tongue twister than a name...)

I never really liked talking about my self. C`mon, no one really cares about the little town I grew up in or the school I have attended. But then again, these are probably not the things you are looking to find out about me.

I guess I could say that I`m sociable and friendly person. I try to look at the world as uncomplicated as I can. Life is good and life is NOW, so I don`t let anything from yesterday destroy it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I guess I signed up to this community because it was about time I stood out of my comfort zone.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is a huge part of my everyday life. It`s just natural since I`m trying to become a professional classical musician. I really get a lot of weird looks when I tell people I`m into classical. I guess people too often associate it with fat ladies in viking costumes singing the "Ride of the Valkyries" (to be honest I found that pretty cool and funny....) But classical music is so much more, you just need to find a way to appreciate it.

Of course, my playlist doesn`t consist only of classical music (I feel I`m still too young for that) though I don`t have a particular taste. Sometimes you can find some different performers on my mp3 player: Arctic Monkeys, Radiohead, Jungle, David Bowie, Aretha Franklin. The list goes on...

These days I don`t really find a lot of free time to read, though I try to pick a book every now and then even when I barely can keep my eyes open. I either read something completely random or recommendations from others. Just to name the few recent authors I came across: Hermann Hesse, Albert Camus, Gustave Le Bon, Ray Bradbury, Jules Verne, Niccolò Machiavelli... Again, the list goes on, I just can`t remember them all on spot.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will always offer a bed, some clean towels and a shower in the morning. From time to time I have some coffee in my cupboard.
