About Me

I'm a positive person, curious and sociable who can't live without adventures and traveling. I think my life wouldn’t be complete without meeting people and exploring new places. I believe I'm always active and full of energy to do hundred of things. Hiking, skiing, ice-skating, camping, diving, rock climbing, cooking just to name a few. Most passionate about nature and being surrounded by its untouched and pure beauties. Love ecotourism.

Having lived in Spain; Switzerland, volunteered in Uganda, obtained a master’s degree in the UK, I finally ended up living in my home country beloved Lithuania.

PHILOSOPHY

"The man who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything." - William Connor Magee

Life is too short to waste it of doing nothing or only dreaming about the better future. Never leave things for tomorrow and get from life as much as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, to be honest, I surf more than I host. When I started couch surfing back in 2008 I was a student and seldom had an opportunity to host at my place. Hope one day my own apartment doors will be widely opened and everybody will be warmly welcome here.. Now I try to meet people, help them in my city as much as I can. What's more what I do and I like it a lot is to spreed CS's idea more and more, tell, explain, share ideas with people about CouchSurfing. Let's make people know about CS's spirit! ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I walked with cheetahs and lions on the leash in Zambia, was the first white skinned person ever seen in a village somewhere far north east in Uganda, hiked up to Ijen crater at night and saw blue fires, saw northern lights on my birthday in Iceland, dived with whale sharks in the Philippines, gazed at stars in remote oasis at Sahara desert, got amazed by Big 5, survived malaria twice, lived in a ski resort in Switzerland with a free ski pass, got lost and camped literally in a middle of nowhere in Argentina, lived 6 summer seasons full of joy and adventures in my beloved Spain, to name a few :D
