UK Tour

Hello all,

If anybody would ask me what is one of the best therapies to boost your happiness no doubt I would say it’s a friends therapy.

UK has been in my life for quite few years now, I lived there, had many days of fun and sure had some shit ones too. So no wonder that I made many connections there.

So when my ski season was over I was just dreaming to see everybody, to catch up and have some fun. I am extremely lucky for my lovely friends who know me and accept my last minute spontaneous messages and who dearly accept my chaos that I bring to them. Travelling with a backpack is amazing but when you need to get something from the bottom of it, it means all that shit you got in needs to be out which means creating a little jumble sale in your friends living room, oops!

This time I really felt like doing a UK tour, not that I’m famous or anything but crossing the country from the North to the West to the South and the East really felt like some kind of tour.

I was lucky and got to experience a heatwave in North Yorkshire, how amazing is that! Walking in shorts, doing yoga each morning in the garden, walking in that sweet warm breeze and even swimming in the North Sea (no wetsuits cause we are that hard core, ha!). Beautiful days, beautiful memories. Amazing wild seals colony with lots and lots of different clumsy seals, manifesting while hitch hiking, long talks, big laughs, long walks, exploring North York Moors, ohhh how amazing it all was!

Then South part with long beautiful walk in a bloody rainy Wales, haha, beautiful dinners together with friends, kisses, hugs, more laughs, more talks, more catch ups, more endorphins. I spent some magical time in the forest in Somerset where an off grid community living there in amazing hobit houses inspired me to live such life once in my life. Waking up in a tent in a forest is something everybody should experience, singing birds, beautiful sunshine rays coming through the trees, ohhhh, is this life for real???

I know I made another post where it seems like I am high on some kind of pill or something, but trust me, for such a nomadic spirit that I am, visiting friends is such an important time. I don’t have any stability in my life, I move from one country to another one and in each place I am lucky to have such special friendships but life moves on and I miss out on seeing my friends growing so each time I get a chance to see them again, my body produces so many endorphins that the happiness and joy just bounces. Also, let’s not forget it’s spring time, ha!

I just only wish I could have seen everybody, next time!

So yeah, this is just my little gratitude post for all my beautiful friends. Now time to have some fun in Lithuania.

With so much love and happiness,

Love Dedication to La Rosiere

Salut!

Another place lived, another beautiful memory in my head. Will I ever stop moving so much? I swear each time I live somewhere I'm so impressed how deeply it gets ingrained in my heart.

For the past 4-5 months I've been playing in the snow. What a great season! It always seem to start quite hard and then you bump into one person that leads you to another and then by the time you have to leave you made all these beautiful friendships. I am so lucky to find such amazing people everywhere I go!

It's still strange for me to accept that snowboarding season is over for now. I know I keep repeating but La Rosiere resort is truly a gem. There is something really special about this place. The views are the most stunning views you could ever wish for. I don't know how I gonna survive without waking up and seeing an absolute beauty in front of me.

Now time had come to pack my snowboard, send some winter clothes away and get ready for spring/summer time.

I'm sad to leave, but happy for new adventures that don't involve 5 layers of clothing. Time for skinny dipping!

I will be travelling in UK for few weeks to see my beautiful friends and will be back in Lithuania for few weeks. Would love to see as many friends as I can. So let me know if you are free to catch up.

It's time to leave the bubble!

See you soon,

Salut!

Happy Spring!

So for the past month or two I have been quiet in my little updates. I’m still alive, I’m still in France.

Some of you may know how passionate I can be about certain things, well I was definitely passionate about some fresh snow because it didn’t stop me to rest even though my body was crying for it. My whole (well, nearly!) February has been a recovery time for me. I managed to injure myself twice- once the tendons on my knee and second time concrete wall crash while sledging (who could have thought the sledging can be dangerous!). All I had to do was rest, elevate my leg and have hundreds of ice packs resting on my knee.

It’s funny, I always get reminded how amazing our bodies are. And as soon as I hurt myself all that appreciation comes without any effort. While everybody was having fun skiing and boarding I made sure my brains get enough stimulation. Ukulele was in use a lot and lots of documentaries made sure I am thinking about things that really matter to me.

3 weeks without moving much was a long stop for me but it surely made me think of all the people that can’t move all their lives. It made me think about my life and how lucky lucky girl I am to have such a wonderful ride. It made me look closer for what I put in my mouth and my batteries were completely recharged.

I must say most of the month I had such a spring mood (even though it was still winter) and I was falling in love so easily, ha!

Now I am back on my board, not completely healed but for sure fully recharged for this new beautiful season that is coming. I love spring and I love it’s energy!

Everything is going well, I’m enjoying my work, I meeting some fun people and I am still living in the postcard environment. The sky and the stars here are amazing and so as the sunsets. 

I am still here for a month or two so if you are ever around, come to see me 😉

Surrounded by The Mountains

Salut!

Je suis en France.

Yes yes, I’m learning more than that. Slowly 😊

So most of the people who read this are my dear friends and family and some beautiful faces I met on my way to never stopping adventures. You all know I am from this tiny country with no mountains. And yet every time I am close by the mountains I feel so connected. Did I live in the mountains in my previous lives?

I’ve been living in the French Alps for the past month. The seasonal job happened to land in my hand at the right time, just before I finished my savings.

I won’t lie, it’s harder this time, winters always hit me hard. I question a lot of things, I eat more cakes and just sometimes get a tiny bit isolated. Me isolated? Chat chat chat right, but not always hey!

During Christmas and New years I was working and happened to observe some beautiful families. I am a Grinch, I really don’t get all that fuss about that consumerist celebration that Coca Cola and other brands just love it. In fact, I very dislike waste and buying stuff that people don’t need. However, I happened to witness beautiful family gathering. Yes, they still bought lots of useless shit but they were just so real and caring to each other. They so honestly loved the magic about this celebration that most of us forgot. I was absolutely in love with them. It was like watching a beautiful film in front of me and from time to time even being part of it. They are not perfect I know, but somehow I happened to believe that Christmas can be a nice gathering.

And time just ticks and ticks. I work split shifts which sometimes gets really confusing and I can feel that I just did 12 days in 6 days time. People who worked in hospitality will get what I mean.

Sometimes I do feel a little bit lonely. Summers are my favourite and I often completely use my energy battery so in the winter I get lo lick some wounds I made myself while being too crazy.

And although my life is now living and working in such a luxurious environment (skiing resorts will always be a luxury for me) I am so grateful to have such a stunning view everyday. When I see so many peaks of the mountains with those snowy caps I feel so humbled to be part of it. To be able to see it, to breathe fresh crispy air (never mind occasional nose bleeds from time to time!), to feel that really nature is so close, jeeeeez, all my problems wash away. I know I know, I sound too hippy and believe me, not everyday I feel that. But some days I get that awe, I look around where I am and everything makes sense.

I kind of always start the post with the idea to say something negative or criticizing (wait, what?!) but in the end I just always get caught with things I love. Some people ask me about this blog sometimes and I really don’t want to give an idea that I am just a walking rainbow with unicorns, I really have shit days and I complain from time to time but when I write something in me observes it and writes the positive experience. I guess I am just saying that we always have shit around us but once we see some beautiful things that can be a game changer. It is for me at least.

Ok, that’s what was on my mind today.

If you are in La Rosiere by any chance, give me a shout, I love familiar faces.
