Personal DescriptionI 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 CSI love to help people and love when they help me.CouchSurfing ExperienceIt is the human nature to support, trust and help each other, projects like CoushSurfing help this not to dissapear in the materialistic world.Interests

Any experience - is it bad or good - is VALUABLE!

From ENGIN KABAN Izmir, Turkey Jun 5 Positive I used to follow Augustas' and his girlfriends trips online. Finally had the chance to meet him in person when I was in Vilnius. Great guy...
From Eleonora Flach Vestmanna, Faroe Islands Mar 5 Positive 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!
From Isabel Casas Aarhus, Denmark Feb 10 Positive 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.

Keep living the dream!

From Helena Karhu Copenhagen, Denmark Sep 10, 2007 Positive 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!
From Roy Aguilar León Quito, Ecuador Aug 27, 2007 Positive hey Augustas! How're you doing?... Augustas is a interesting traveler, he and Katja stayed home during some days, they are good talkers, smart, easy-going and with global vision, maybe because they have traveled that much :D hehe, great hitch-hikers and good persons above all.
From Ben Bachelder Berkeley, United States Aug 20, 2007 Positive We met while we were both visiting the same CS host, and realized that we had been reading about each other online through www.digihitch.com. Crazy!
From Kazimieras Bagdonas Kaunas, Lithuania Aug 16, 2007 Positive 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
From Dalia Tiesyte Solna, Sweden Aug 16, 2007 Positive Augustas is really special, I admire so much how he's living his life, with no constraints
From Bradwell Jackson Nashville, United States Oct 28, 2006 Positive We met through Couch Surfing correspondence. We compared notes about "hardcore travelling" and learned a lot from each other. We then went to a meeting at a Society of Friends house and had fun as we got to know people from different culutures.
From Christian Van Der Henst S. Barcelona, Spain Sep 28, 2006 Positive It was nice to meet Augustas and her girlfriend and show them downtown during the weekend. Badly I didn't have much time during the week, but they're allways welcome to come back. Take care.
