Overview
About Me
Heyy! I'm new here but hope to meet new faces and new friends (I for sure found one here). Like everyone here I really love to travel and I'm trying my best to do so with a limited budget.
I was living in Belgium for the Erasmus program, and after that, I realized that I don't want to stop traveling, at this moment I see CS as a perfect opportunity, because it is not only about money and saving it, it is about meeting people, they help to get to know the culture, local food, I adore this experience.
At the moment I can't host people because I'm living with a roommate, but when ill have a chance, I for sure going to do that.
As for now, I just can say that I'm a really warm person, I'm here for talks (anything, You name it), for walks, for good coffee and interesting life in general :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
It started when I went to Ireland, my friend suggested to try staying at someone's place, at that time all hostels were already sold and I had a tight budget. I can assure it was one of the best decisions in my life. That new experience when You have to go from a comfort zone and feel good was everything. I met an amazing person Pradeep and his wonderful dog that Ill never forget. Thanks to him I feel more confident and outgoing and I'm here for the good time, to get one and to give one too

Music, Movies, and Books
For now, I'm listening to everything, but on repeat, there is one Lithuanian song that means so much and nothing at the same time.

When the sea is calm, but you want to scream
Make waves, do something
'Cause I can't stand it when you're calm

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
well, everyone's experience is really different and for one person it can be a small thing and for another, it's a big one.
Now, for me, I'm proud that I left for Erasmus. I went to an unknown city, alone, without the language that people speak in that city. Left everything I have (my beloved dog) because I wanted to experience the world and what is different behind the home borders, because of this experience, I found how much I love to be around people, see how everyone different and interesting in their own way.
Teach, Learn, Share
When I came back to Lithuania I started to volunteer at ESN of my Uni, now I have a chance to give my knowledge to coming people, introduce them to Lithuania and show how beautiful it is.
Last year I welcomed my first students and it was heartbreaking to let them do so, but for now, I see that my good friends just wandering around the world and I'll have a chance to meet them.
Some students said that I helped them to be more outgoing and independent, but they gave me so much too, I felt so blessed to meet them, talk and connect - this is all about I'm in it.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I don't have experience a lot with Couchsurfing, but for sure I can offer to exchange and host You whenever You come to Lithuania or some other place where I'll be living.
What can I do, for now, well, I can share interesting conversations, besides that, just let me in Your kitchen and ill make something veggiedelicious :)
If You need any help with cleaning I can help with that for sure.
Besides that, I love to walk, so if Youre up, we can go for miles :)
