First of all, I would like to welcome you to my travel blog and hopefully, we can become great travel pals!

I am originally Lithuanian, but I have lived in Ireland for more than half my life. Ireland is the place I like to call home.

I am quite a creative person with a passion for art and photography. I love all things art and the process of visualizing my thoughts and ideas through various media. For me, the definition of a perfect evening is a glass of red wine in one hand and a paintbrush in the other, while listening to my favorite song. 

However, I will never miss an opportunity for new adventures around the globe!

At the age of eighteen, I went on my very first solo trip to Madrid in Spain. Truthfully, it was probably the worst planned trip I ever had. After reflecting on that trip, I have learned quite a few things about myself. First of all, I was shocked to find out I was okay traveling by myself and second of all, I told myself I will never have such a badly planned trip again – and I never did!

One of my favorite and true travel highlights has to be my one-month solo trip to Asia in 2019. There is something special about solo traveling and the experiences it opens. A rollercoaster of emotions, feelings, and connections you will never forget. I hope to tell you more about it in my blogs…
