I am a Lithuanian expat living in Berlin, Germany, raising two small kids. I consider myself a life explorer and seeker of progress and harmony. My professional career is mostly related to web development. In my spare time, I also like writing texts, traveling, listening to music and non-fiction audiobooks, inline skating, watching science fiction movies and animations, browsing social media websites, blogging and microblogging, meditating, dancing, learning and applying methods for self-improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I consider myself an ambivert and intuitive empath. I don&#8217;t communicate too much, but still, I like good company and socializing. I don&#8217;t value superficial small talks too much and am quite selective about people whom I include in my life. I am idealistic and future-oriented, although not always practical. Also, I don&#8217;t like bureaucracy and usually don&#8217;t get into discussions about politics and sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I used to write a personal blog earlier for quite a long time. This one is a new reborn version. You might like it if you are curious about self and global awareness, psychology, self-improvement. The readers of my old blog might also enjoy reading this one. Unfortunately for Lithuanian readers, now it&#8217;s only in English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If my writings ignite some thoughts in your mind, don&#8217;t hesitate to leave a comment and start a discussion.
