About Me

In January 2019, I acquired a 2,5 Ha chunk of land in Lithuania, and since February, I started my project to grow a food forest as well as learn how to live sustainably and off-grid off the land. I've traveled extensively the 3-years prior, searching for a place to call home, until I realized I must start that place. I hope to travel again in a few years, when the food forest can survive on its own, until then, my top priority is to create a Permaculture living site, and everything related to that.

(Old) 2017 Introduction: Ex-designer, ex-developer and now full-time curious. I was working full time in the States when I tried to bootstrap my own startup which led me to live in several places around the world from Vilnius Lithuania, to Sri Lanka, to Berlin and parts of Colombia. Eventually the startup disintegrated and I traveled some more. Eventually while backpacking in Odessa, Ukraine, almost all of my stuff got stolen so I returned to the states to work for 8 months and now I'm back, picking up from where I left off!

I like foreign languages and learning about people and their cultures and the food that comes along with it. I’m an artistic person. I enjoy working with my hands, discussing philosophy, and problem solving. I have a very large appetite, yet when I do something, I do it 100%. I try to avoid processed foods, I love to cook for people, and to be active.

PHILOSOPHY

Do unto to others as you wish would be done unto you. Some smart guy (in the bible?) said that but I deeply believe it :D
