And here we are – 2015! This year promised me adventures long time ago, but until now I didn’t believed that I am really going to Norway. It just seemed so far away from my little world which began to make me a quite depressed personality.

There is nothing wrong with Lithuania itself. It is a small beautiful country in it’s own way. But here I felt trapped in my own mind and comfort zone. Nothing outside my comfort zone seemed worth pursuing… Yeah, I admit – I am quite lazy and unenthusiastic. I like to comfort myself thinking that there are just too many good reasons not to do something and lack of encouragement (someone should be responsible, right? :D). I had and still have many many dreams and plans but those are still only dreams, because I didn’t put much effort on any of them. One day… Maybe.

There almost wasn’t a day when anxiety didn’t took over. Anxiety about the future. What shall I do for a living? What if I gona hate my profession? What shall happen to my dreams? Will I have enough time? Just too many questions in my head that seized me from doing something.

Anyway, studies abroad seems like a good start in the direction of pursuing my dreams and a good excuse to run away from my boring daily life. I made my preparations quite diligently and waited for this adventure so badly for the last few moths. Sooo badly..

Spending five moths in Norway meant that my girlfriend Karina had to be left behind for a while. After two and half year together we managed to build strong and lasting relationship. It’s a shame to be apart for such a long time, but I couldn’t handle the fact that I was becoming such a boring and unhappy person and that it might affect our relationship in the future. I didn’t want to be Karina’s disappointment. I had to leave, I had to change myself, expand my point of view, before I can be an interesting partner.

And so, this is it. I am in the plane, with my colleague Osvaldas beside me. I never flew by a passenger jet before, neither did Osvaldas. It’s going to be a really exciting journey! Pretty rough landing; 20 hours in the airport, four of which was spent outside of it because it was closed for the night; 3,5 hour bus trip to Kristiansand… And here I am – my new home. And adventures didn’t stopped there, on the same evening we made quite a few Norvegian friends, they showed us around the city, introduced me to the bar culture which seems to be really popular around here. Of course it’s popular everywhere, but I never was party guy back home, so this was entirely new to me 😛

I was really tired in the end of the day… but honestly, I never thought I would anything like this. Finally, something awesome is happening to me! We were welcome here! And it’s only the beginning…
