About Me

CURRENT MISSION
to celebrate life.

ABOUT ME
I'm a pretty active person who sometimes likes meeting new people, sometimes likes being alone. I am religious, a philologist, have traveled to quite a few places mainly in Europe and to some in Asia. I like exploring new places or re-exploring the old ones, I'm a bit of a dreamer, a bit of a dancer, a bit of everything really.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I like the idea of welcoming and meeting strangers in your home and traveling in this way myself. I have met many nice people via this website. Because welcoming strangers at my place and meeting them all over the place is cool!

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was hosted one night in Paris, I hosted Kamila and her friends in my sister`s flat in Vilnius, went to a couple of meetings. there was a great one in London, where surfed Attila`s and Amadine`s couch for two days. I also met Joanna in Bradford for a drink, went to a language exchange meeting in an abandoned club in Bradford and had a lot of fun there. I also met Naomi, a Swiss couchsurfer during a yellow tour around the beautiful Vilnius. You`ll never know where you gonna meet a couchsurfer, they are so spread everywhere. Met a German CSer in France, met some guys in Cambridge and London and was hosted at Eva`s place in Dublin (it was awesome). I have met two Daniels, Ray C, Abby, Gabriel, Anna, Justyn (a very cool guy), Paulius, Mark and Jamie in Cambridge. Hosted Fulvia, Sara, Elisa, Sean, Andras and Subhartra at my place. Surfed Neil`s place in Glasgow and Aloe`s place in Edinburgh.

We met Jaja in Zadar and surfed Pascals place where we met Michele and we all traveled to Mostar and Sarajevo together. Nagy hosted me and Anna in Sarajevo for two days and I met Fatih in Sarajevo.

Interests

I enjoy traveling in Lithuania and abroad, listening to music (mainly indie or singing poetry because I like the lyrics), I enjoy hiking and walked 300 km on the Camino Frances in Spain. I attended modern dance classes for 1.5 years and really enjoyed it. I am also passively learning Spanish and Russian. I hope to finally dare not only read books written by other authors but to give birth to a book myself. I like spending time with people, walking, talking, having dinner and drinks.
