Augustas Kligys
I got a wonderful gift - LIFE
View all 3 photos

Personal Description

I am originally from a small country in East Europe - Lithuania, but in the last 12 years I have been travelling a lot in Europe, Africa, Asia and Latin America. Currently I have covered around 180'000km by hitch-hiking.

My educational background is Computer Science, so I am supposed to become an IT specialist. But I aim on vice versa - travelling to become my profession, and computers to be my hobby.

I don't eat meat, but eat fish. I rarely buy milk products, but probably consume if somebody offers it to me. I agree that this world is totally abusing animals, we are not fair to them!

I always try to be honest, I do not lie. I like black and ironic humor, so sorry if sometimes my jokes will be to direct ;)

How I Participate in CS

I love to help people and love when they help me.

CouchSurfing Experience

It is the human nature to support, trust and help each other, projects like CoushSurfing help this not to dissapear in the materialistic world.

Interests


Interested in techniques and secrets of illusionism (magic), love to show tricks to the kids while traveling. Exploring and observing countries and people.
Dumpster diving - being freegan sometimes.

Philosophy

Trust people, trust strangers.
Do not be afraid to fail.
Any experience - is it bad or good - is VALUABLE!
Do not expect anything.
Better no plans!
The best things are not things.

Types of People I enjoy

Good and honest people.

One Amazing Thing I've Seen or Done

I got a wonderful gift - LIFE! So I am enjoying it - I am relaxed, do not make stress, do not work too much, do what I feel like doing - because life is beautiful.
...and did fasting for 25 days (no food, no drinks, only special herbs tea).

Locations Traveled

TRAVELED: Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Croatia, Cuba, Czech Republic, Denmark, Ecuador, El Salvador, Estonia, Ethiopia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Guatemala, Honduras, Hungary, Italy, Kenya, Latvia, Luxembourg, Mexico, Monaco, Netherlands, Nicaragua, Norway, Panama, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Tanzania, Turkey, United Kingdom, Venezuela, Zambia

Wow...what can I say. Augustas and Katja hosted us in Aalborg...and we saw hospitality and kindness at its best!! They are so interesting people, deep, friendly, considerate, understanding and helpful. Though I could not spend as much time with them as I'd like to, I can say that I like them very much and would trust them with anything. Meet this wonderful couple!

It is always refreshing to meet people who come out of the norm. Augustas and Katja live in an alternative way which we do not have the chance to see often. They were the perfect guests and I really enjoyed getting that 'curse of the duck' from you. Our paths will probably encounter again. Best.

Sometimes you meet special people and other times you meet really special people. Augustas & Katja are a couple you won't find anywhere else. One of a kind. It was really nice to share some time with them in Valparaiso. Maybe the next time in Europe... who knows!

Augustas and his girlfriend Katja - in a meanwhile as well full time travelers shared with us their small room in Cuenca. Very helpful, very open minded with lots of interesting thoughts and ideas, which put a new view on traveling as such. Guys, hope to hear from you one day again and good luck on your travels :-)

Although Augustas and I are from very different parts of the world, our work and perhaps passion for travel brought us together to work on a web project together. I've had a great time getting to know him and his partner Katja during their rest stop in Cuenca.

I met Augustas back in Eucador, when he was one of my first CS friends. He struck me right away as a very interesting man. By the time our paths parted I knew I had met a truly beautiful, inspirational person, not to mention that he's an international hitch-hiker extrordinare! Like Jack Keroack times ten. Keep living the dream!

Augustas and Katja set off on an amazing journey to hitch-hike the world over 18 months ago. We met them at the CS meeting in Cuenca and it turned out right away we had quite a few things in common. A couple of days later they invited us to their place for a delicious vegetarian lunch. They both make a very nice and interesting couple & I wish we had spent more time together... Many Happy Travels, guys & see you on the road :-)

Augustas is such an amazing beoynd-words adventurer, that I have absolutely not words to describe! By far one of the most travelled and experienced explorers I have ever met. I always remember how he doesn't like to sleep because he likes to live as much as possible. Hoping to see you one of these days again!

OK - this guys IS scary! I mean how many people have guts to discard standards and live the weird Dream?! Nonconformist, smart, original, strong-willed and funny guy. Its was a pleasure meeting him.

Though I always get to smile when I remember that he hitchhiked through the whole continent of Africa and still didn't knew what a 'Bedouin' is - it was fun teasing him :D

This is my man! Sometimes parents expect from their children to realize parent's dreams. I feel the same about Augustas - he is realizing my dreams, which are not yet realized by me :-)
He is really different, he has "proper" style of humor, he likes original ideas, he supports original initiatives, he likes challenges and action.
And I like him :-)

Very reliable guy who really shares ! We met through our website and Augustas has been great with us- sharing his contacts and friends to help with our project. He did for us what he proposed to do and even more and we are very grateful. As we met several of his friends we feel that we know him a bit already and hope to meet him some day somewhere !
