About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To have the best year of my life

ABOUT ME

The first adjective that comes to my mind is curious. I'm curious about everything, and there's a lot a things I want to know about. Tell me you speak Lithuanian and I'd want to learn a bit; tell me that you know how to dance traditional Armenian dances and I'd like to try as well; tell me that you've fought with bears... and I'll be eager to listen to your anecdote! I'm quite open-minded and I consider I learn from every person I meet, somehow. That's why travelling and meeting people it's always a pleasure for me.

Some people tell me I'm shy, some others say outgoing. I guess it all depends on the affinity with the other person but hey, that means I'm flexible!

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy every little detail of everything. You may not notice it sometimes, but try to think about this just a couple of minutes: Are you really conscious how much a smile worths?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've already been in several CS meetings and language exchanges when I lived in Berlin and Auckland, and have been hosted a couple of times.

Interests

My interests in life can be reduced to three: Travelling, photography and languages. Well, unfortunately I have way more interests than time to pay attention to all of them, but I guess those three move my life!

  • photography
  • dancing
  • cooking
  • traveling
  • socializing
  • blogging
  • languages
  • language exchange

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies like Moulin Rouge, Dolls, Mulholland Drive, 21 Grams, Into the Wild, A Separation, White God really made me change somehow.

And about music, I like Tame Impala, Sigur Rós, Yann Tiersen, Anathema, Beirut, Bon Iver, The Tallest Man on Earth, Explosions in the Sky, ...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling to Greenland or crossing the Australian desert with my tent

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Spanish, English (I may even dare with a bit of German), talk about magical places and wonderful languages (I keep a blog about that), and basically anything involving mindtravelling and daydreaming.

I love to learn about any topic, so whatever you're interested in I'll try to be too! I'm all ears

I can cook, which doesn't mean I'm a good cook at all, so that's why I write this last. I just don't recommend it.
