This is me with my family, 5 years old, Kaunas, Lithuania, 2002.
Ever since I was a child, I dreamed of traveling and exploring the world. I have completed two universities. I hold a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in Project Management. I speak English and German fluently. From a young age, I actively participated in various sports and completed a basketball school.
One day, I decided to leave everything behind – I gave up what I had and started traveling. This decision allowed me to live my dream, discover new cultures, and experience unforgettable adventures.
My Travel Philosophy
The most important things when traveling are desire, motivation, and self-discovery. Each journey teaches you to reflect on yourself, recognize your strengths and weaknesses, and courageously acknowledge your mistakes. Travel teaches patience, resilience, and the ability to embrace uncertainty. On the road, as in life, you experience a variety of situations – unexpected challenges, joyful moments, cultural discoveries, and personal growth. Every city, mountain, and every conversation with someone from a different culture becomes a lesson that shapes your perspective and character. Ultimately, traveling is not just about seeing new places – it is discovering yourself in new ways, learning from your choices, and growing through both victories and setbacks. Each journey leaves an indelible mark on your soul and inspires the next adventure.
The more I explore the world, the more I explore my own soul
Besides traveling, I enjoy a variety of active hobbies and outdoor adventures, and I have tried many different sports and physical activities.
Sometimes I like to relax by drawing or playing music. I also enjoy various kinds of handicrafts.
