CURRENTLY BASED BETWEEN HAWAII & BAY AREA.

Curious about the world, open-minded, fun, some weekends I like to be by the ocean reading a book, hiking 10 mi trails in mountains, or going out with friends, it's never the same. I'm pretty dynamic when it comes to interests and hobbies. I love to live as much as possible.

I was born in Cancún, México but lived in the States for some time. Studied Chemical Engineering, then went on to build a company. Now exploring what's next for me and I'd love to get back into traveling.

I'm a great drone pilot, skydived twice, gone on solo trips, and currently working on getting stronger to do more outdoor activities that challenge me. Currently would like to learn to be a pilot, scuba dive, freedive, surf, rockclimb.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite band at the moment is JUNGLE but this (favorite band/artist) changes constantly. My music consists of Indie, Alternative, Electronic, Dance, Jazz, Classical, etc. Coldplay will always be a good one

I love reading meaningful books. I like Catcher in the Rye, Brave New World, Eleanor & Park, Metamorphosis. Movies that I like: Into the Wild, Mrs. Nobody, Interstellar, Inception and others that I forgot the names of (the story of my life, forgetting things).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went Skydiving in Cancún and I have also swam with sharks. Joined a roadtrip and travelled all around California with crazy fun people who are my closest friends now. Pursuing a degree in Chemical Engineering (help please). I also booked a last-minute trip to Europe after camping for 10 days over Arizona/Utah. Skydived once again! Visited Chernobyl and Bratislava (very similar I would say). Built a company that was featured in Pepsi.

Teach, Learn, Share

A few people would call me a nerd because I love science and maths but I also love traveling so it’s about 50/50.

I want to have as many adventures as I can. I like doing random and spontaneous things, and enjoying life as much as possible. I'm open to learn something new everyday. Have some good stories to share as well but often just need a reminder or something that triggers the memories.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach you Spanish and English. Apparently my sandwiches are really good so don’t forget to ask me to make one for you! I'm always open to share my experiences, to learn from others, and to do the most random (but fun) stuff. If you know and speak Lithuanian, help me please.
