An outgoing university student interested in traveling and talking anytime about almost everything. I like thinking about maths and philosophy (as I am studying these subjects at university), language and technology. I also dance socially, mostly salsa and bachata and I am always up for that sort of thing. I used to act and play a guitar so I'm interested in arts too, especially theater and poetry. At one point towards the end of my high school years I even thought I would become a theater actor. I think that I'm tolerant, optimistic, and open-minded. I love meeting new people, talking to them and learning from them about pretty much anything: from their culture and cooking to how to design board games. That's one of the reasons why I like travelling and why I am here. Also, new places and breathtaking nature always puts a smile on my face, which I'm more than happy to share. :)
Interested in Art
Interested in Books & Literature
Fluent in English
Learning Hebrew (modern)
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Because the 11 couchsurfers that have hosted me for 16 nights so far are really amazing people. And because I like hosting people when I have the facilities and give them a unique Couchsurfing expereince, which I have given to only 2 people so far but planning on more. Finally, because of this platform now it's easy to believe that there are lots of good people in the world. :)

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Hitch-hiking trip from Vilnius to London and all the way back. (Through Prague, Paris and many other interesting cities). Around 5000km, more than 2 weeks, lots of cars and nice people.
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach: How to smile, dance, and be happy. :) I know Russian, Lithuanian and English quite well so I could teach you that as well. Obviously, if you're interested in maths and/or philosophy, I can share my thoughts about issues in the subjects. Learn: Polish, Hebrew, your interesting stories and point of view.
