Sorry not accepting guests as I'm currently in Italy hitchhiking and couchsurfing. Currently near Trento. Debating if I should hitchhike through Austria or go east trying to reach Slovenia 🤷

My friends describe me as outgoing, curious, unique in thinking and positive. I would describe myself as comfortable in being odd, an artist, somewhat of a lost soul. I believe in the humanity and the good inside every person I meet, and all things considered, I think that, fundamentally, we are not that different.
This year marks the 10th year I have been Couch Surfing. How the time flew by.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm couchsurfing because of sonder - that feeling I get thinking that every person has their own fully fledged lives, I'd love to be a fleeting part of somebody's life when travelling and exchange the experience of living on the same planet at the same time. I see travelling as a way to reconnect with humanity. I feel that this sincere human connection is often missing from our day-to-day lives. Finally, after a break and a move, I can offer a place in my home too, this brings me a lot of joy.

Interests

I have a degree in visual arts, so that's one of my greatest passions. I also do a fair amount of herbalism by foraging all kinds of plants, drying them and using them based on their properties. My newest interest is dancing - I've just discovered ecstatic dances and started learning zouk (Latin dance)💃

Music, Movies, and Books

Tastes change all the time. I've been listening to Dope Lemon. Maybe by the time you're reading this it will be something new.
The last book I've read was "Rewilding" by Isabella Tree, taught be a lot about ecology and sustainability.
I watched "The Seed of the Sacred Fig" and it still haunts me. Incredible movie.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Adopted a cat 🐈 her name is Aya and she's the best

Teach, Learn, Share

Did you know that the way Europeans in the Middle Ages spoke sounded very much like Lithuanian? I could teach you some! I could also teach you some origami. I would love to learn some of your language and listen to your folk tales.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I know some beautiful Lithuanian folk songs. I can share my knowledge of the night sky as well as some stories from my previous travels :)
