Life Challenges
My biggest challenge was 18 years ago when my daughter and I left our native country and moved to Poland. The changes touched our cultural background, language, work for me, and a school for my daughter. By the way, we changed a small town into a big city. All these things were terrifying. However, there wasn’t a second I regretted my decision. I am still happy living here, in Warsaw.

On Stage
Well, I wouldn’t say that I enjoy public speaking. However, I participated in performances with my philological faculty’s theatre club in my youth. You might wonder how that was possible. If you don’t have to speak, you can play the piano. Since I was the only one in our group who could play, I was guaranteed a role. Thus, I think I can say that I performed on a stage.
Favourite Physical Activity
What are your favorite physical activities or exercises?
Basketball and all things around it. I was born in Lithuania, basketball is our National sport, so we played basketball everywhere: at kindergarten, school, University, at work, etc. Basketball is more than sport for each Lithuanian, it is our life.
Five Things I’m good at
Teaching foreign languages (Lithuanian and Russian), crocheting, knitting, cross stitching, houseplants
Eating Meat
I do not have a clear answer to this question. Generally, I try not to eat meat, especially since I usually don’t even want to. If I do, I eat white meat, i.e. chicken or turkey. But if I don’t eat red meat for a long time, I get anaemic, and I must admit that one rare steak improves my blood tests. You could say that I feel bad eating meat, but it seems that I have no choice.

Books
I am reading Jurga’s Ivanauskaitė’s “Švelnūs tardymai” right now – the book in the Lithuanian language I bought during my visit to Lithuania at the end of October. The book contains twenty interviews with famous Lithuanian artists, philosophers, priests, and others. This is not the one book I’ve read, some weeks ago I started “Butler to the World: How Britain Helps the World’s Worst People Launder Money, Commit Crimes, and Get Away with Anything” by Oliver Bullough in the Polish language, and the title in Polish sounds like “Kamerdyner Swiata: jak Wielka Brytania wstąpiła na służbę u oligarchów, kleptokratów i kombinatorów”.
