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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>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.<\/p>\n

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 \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n\n\t\n\t\t
