Travel information

I am currently

Description

My name is Ignas, I am 24 years old and I come from Lithuania, by the Baltic Sea.

My greatest passion and love in life is exploring my inner world and my feelings, and just learning about psychology in general so I can live a more meaningful and fulfilling life, have deeper connections with wonderful people, and create more beauty in the world. I enjoy music, especially singing, and I like spending time in nature, hiking, climbing, and traveling. I am currently very excited to travel abroad, see more of the world, and meet new people.

I like being in fresh air, moving around, and doing all sorts of jobs with my hands. I've been doing blacksmithing and blades for some 6 years now, and I also like playing around with other trades and crafts, such as woodworking, carving, jewelry, construction, and pottery.

One direction I see my life taking is towards healthier and more eco-friendly living, so I will probably try and drink up all your knowledge and experience with gardening, food preparation, traditional building, and vegetarian cooking.

I've done a share of traveling in my life, including day hikes, nights out in the woods, and a couple of hitchhiking trips. I can cook my own food and look after myself, and although good conversation is welcome, alone time is never a problem either.

More details about your skills

I have a fair amount of experience with various crafts, mostly self-taught by playing around, observation, and experimentation, and I can probably use any hand or power tool you may have available :D I have basically grown up with a hammer or an axe in my hand, so these things come quite intuitively. I've done a lot of metalworking as a hobby, including some welding. I am now practically a professional blacksmith and wooden spoon carver, that is to say, I have done paid commissions in both of these crafts.

I have worked as a helper for a rope access technician doing all sorts of maintenance and construction work for 1.5 years, and a lot of my childhood and teenage summers were spent building various houses and sheds with my grandfather, so I am no stranger to construction, repairs, and DIY stuff.

Finally, I have worked as a barista for half a year, so I have a some experience in hospitality too.
