I came to Lithuania to work at the US Embassy. Fell in love with a Lithuanian, married and decided to live in Vilnius. Safe, clean, affordable compared to other EU countries. ❤️ the internet speed & cost. Nature is their thing along with live music and outdoor kitchen/balloon rides during the summer. A great place to raise a family.
As someone who was raised in Belgium I'm looking out to move out of the country to be more connected to nature and less consumerism lifestyle. We just booked a trip to Lethunia (Vilnius) coming September and looking forward to see what I miss out in life. I hope my girlfriend falls in love aswell, who knows what the future will hold. Great inspiring comment!
@@ßrinkmon to be fair as soon as Summer ends Lithuania is not the nicest place to be in. And Winters for some (even locals) might feel depressing. Foreigners usually form very different opinions about Lithuania depending on if they've visited in during the Summer or Winter (which lasts for nearly 5-6 months). So keep that in mind please :)
Aš myliu Lietuvą! My ancestry is Lithuanian and we visited in May 2018. I have always been obsessed with Lithuania since I was a kid and the trip was like going to my dreamland. The beaches, castles, beautiful old buildings, people, food, etc. was all just as I had imagined. I felt safer walking alone in Vilnius than I do in my own home town. Absolutely left a chunk of my heart there and hope to be back some day. 💕
@@POLMAZURKA so clean, the people are so nice and helpful (even when they know you’re a tourist), and the big one - there aren’t drug addicts and homeless people all over the place begging or spinning out. I only saw one person begging and he was compliant when I said no and left without a fuss. That’s not the case in the city I live in unfortunately and covid has just made it worse.

As an American of Lithuanian ancestry, I really enjoyed your video and the recommendations that you provided. I had the opportunity to visit Vilnius and Kaunas this past September with my family and we loved it. Thanks.
I was just in Lithuania,I met really great people and they introduced me to their traditional and food specialities, Having learned about their culture and visit some historical places. I only have a warm heart towards them
Indeed... they have very a good cuisine. I couldn't tell you the name of a single Lithuanian dish but I remember I liked most all of it...a very overlooked topic this is when the topic of Lithuania comes up..
Hi, thanks for your video and coming to Vilnius. I live there yearly, I am a Missionary there and married to a beautiful Lithuanian woman and we have a little girl and she speaks 3 languages. I am still learning Lithuanian, it is a very hard language to learn, especially not just speak it, but write and read it as well, which I find is easier than speaking it. Its true about Lithuania being a small friendly country. Many people do speak English here, but it is good to know their language and they truly like it when you are learning their language. We have a small 65M2 home with about a acre of land just outside the city, little bit quieter and more relaxing after spending your time in the city, traffic is really bad there and it is hard to get home if you do not leave out of the city around 3 pm. I find the culture beautiful and friendly, they do love Americans here. The food is great and the summers are really short and the winters very long. If you like the beach, Palanga or Klaipeda on the Baltic Sea are beautiful Cities as well as the beaches. You have a lot of nearby countries too to visit, like Poland/Latvia/Astonia/Norway/Sweden/Ukraine, the list goes on, not to mention Lithuania is apart of the EU, so you can travel within all the EU Countries without Visa. Lithuania is a little over 20 years post Communism, which they hate Communism. You still see the old Communist Flats/Apartments, but they do have beautiful Flats that are modern. The Old Town is so beautiful, especially at night and around Christmas. They have great education, they have to learn two other languages besides Lithuanian of their choice. Universities are very great at education and learning is a must to them. The average income is around 700 Euros, but most earn below that, just like in other EU countries, but Lithuania especially, they truly like Capitalism. So, if anyone is interested in coming for a visit, send me a email @ keith.sims@live.com
Nice to meet you, Keith! Thank you for sharing your tips on Lithuania - it must be a difficult language to learn! I have heard Klaipeda is very nice. Will let you know when I pass back through!
@@TravelingwithKristin , please do .... you know, there are Americans here and it is nice to connect with them. Thanks again to coming to our beautiful and friendly city Vilnius. Take much care
Vilnius was AWESOME! It was great hanging out with you there. Also, big props this the amazing filming and editing of this video. Great production value!
I have visited Lithuania nine times over a period of seven years. I have been around most of the country and in all seasons and love it... I wish I could live there... Video is great...
I made a movie in Lithuania in 1993 ;). It was so different then! Just on the other side of communism, no fresh vegetables, just a handful of restaurants. It was incredible to 'see' it now through your update! Thank you!
Perfect video. I loved it. My greatgrandparents came from Lithuania to live in Brazil, but I do not know much about that country. I got real glad to watch the video. Thanks for sharing such valuable information.
My husband is Lithuanian so I am lucky enough to visit 3-4 times a year. Lithuania has unfortunately become a lot more expensive since changing to the Euro which is really sad for the people who live their as their wages are very low, but for a visit it does seem cheap! Lithuania will always be my favourite place in the world, it's incredible! They also have 4 decent seasons which is amazing!
You are so lucky! I feel bad that it's gotten so expensive however :( The Euro causes a lot of side effects especially in smaller economies. Have you been to the beach there? I want to go next time
Traveling with Kristin Yes we go to Palanga sometimes but not that often. Every time we’ve been it’s been cold which is annoying but it’s such a beautiful beach. We go to the lake house more for little get aways. I would so live in LT if I could. Im very jealous! ☀️😢
I have not seen a video on Lithuania yet, and it looks spectacular! I really like how you talk about all the pros and even the cons as well. It looks like Vilnius has that nice small town feel while being the main city in Lithuania. Great job with the video! I've noticed that your video editing has gotten even better!
Thanks Scott! We have a few more videos coming up :) This one was edited with my editor also (who does Digital Nomad News) and we used some clips from Johnny and a professional videographer I hired one day so it was a team effort!
My Grandparents left Vilnius for America in the early 1900's. Times weren't so good in Lithuania back then so they made a new start. It's great to learn about where they came from. I'm surprised by the food dishes you were showing. They looked good. My impression from my family history as well as from recipe cookbooks was that Lithuanian cuisine was very bland and boring. What you showed looked pretty good (Although the purple Borscht I think probably tastes strange served cold) Thank you for posting this and helping me relive memories of my grandparents
Greetings from Lithuania! Nice video, thanks for that. It's interesting how older generation speaks Russian (they been forced to learn it) and younger generation chose English instead. Lithuania have long history with Russians. Long fought Guerrilla warfare after WW2, Book smuggling to keep language alive and long fight for independence. I feel proud and thankful for Patriots. Thanks to them, we can enjoy freedom we have today
Thank you for a great video. I had been to Vilnius in 2015 for a week. Yes, I found it very inexpensive. As my parents came from Lithuania, I especially enjoyed the pink soup, šaltabarščia (literally means cold soup). I wish I had rented bike. I would like to go again.
Lovely tour Kristin! The coast, beautiful beaches, are more than 3 hours from Vilnius at the opposite (West) portion of Lithuania. Also, culture is highly valued in Lithuania, whether it be literature, visual arts, film or discussions, Lithuania values openess and commitment to the arts. (Uzupis) means (Uz=over) (Upis=river) over the river:)
Passed one very mild night at Vilnius on the 1st of May from 30th of April 2018 with lightnings over Neris river! Crossed bouncily moving couples dancing next to the bridges, got fresh beer in cups and "Riesutai" ?? - Peanuts. Had a long rest joining in with them! Got around "losing myself in the streets of Vilnius" (title of my tourist map), but only in the very end on the way back to the Airport, not finding any of the indicated bus lines. Maybe the wrong time at around 6am, still off season.... Friendly Lithuanian mechanics brought me in their car up there for free :-) Enjoyed the dawning around Gediminas Tower and cathedral, then in Bernardine's Gardens, just didn't make it to random Uzupis Republic any more... A pretty suggestive multicultural historical urban core with lots of space and green meadows just ahead. Great view from the "Three Crosses"
Thanks for the videos they are awesome! Hopefully looking forward to experiencing what the weather looks like over there? Any idea the best season of the year to visit?
You're welcome - enjoy your trip! I went in summer but winter could be pretty! My favorite time to visit Europe is shoulder season - spring or fall in Sept-oct
Hey Guys! I'm pure lithuanian and I recommend come in the Summer, because of the warm weather and outdoor activities. P.S in the summer people are much happier after long and cold winter. Thanks and hope you will visit our nice country! 😎👌
Vilnius is a large city by area, of about 400 square meters.(Its simmilar to Warsaw, and bigger than Minsk, who have bigger populations) The actual population is about 750 - 800 thousand, I would not say that it is a small city. It has a lot of nightclubs, art festival events and everything else. Vilnius sometimes looks small, because the old town is at the bottom, and the new districts are far from the mountain, from the Raisson hotel you can barely see the tops of houses. In fact, the Old Town makes up only 3-4 percent of Vilnius. People who live daily work in industrial areas, as in other big cities, face high traffic congestion. People from smaller Lithuanian cities during peak hours try not to go to Vilnius due to big traffic jams.
If you guys visit Lithuania, do not forget to visit 'Pirmas blynas', this is a social restaurant where they hire peolpe with Down syndrome. A fantastic social initiative with the best pancakes in Lithuania!
Lucky you! :D I never saw a cocktail in Vilnius for just 4€... I asked some of my local friends to write price ranges for drinks (beer and cocktails) in Vilnius, just to make sure I am not dreaming and spreading disinformation :) so, everyone agreed that it is almost impossible to find cocktails in Vilnius for just 6€... and to my personal surprise one person said that right before quarantine she saw few places in Vilnius where the beer was already over 6€! I personally paid 5€ at Dirty Duck Pub for a pint of beer in winter. Of course prices are still lower in Vilnius than in the majority of Western European cities but it is not longer that cheep as it used to be 5-10 years ago. In fairness, in a good restaurant in Vilnius you pay exactly the same what you’d be paying in Berlin, Paris and so on. What is really cheep(er) here comparing with the booming economies, is Real Estate and rent... but food, drinks are not cheep at all, even clothes, footwear is quite expensive and Lithuanians usually travel (well, were travelling) abroad to do shopping :D it was better to shop in London than Vilnius especially during sales ;)
I see you are a great human being who replied every comment in this video.I’m planning to get there in Lithuania for work ..your video gave me lots of information about the country and cost of living,Thank you for making this video Christine 👍👍❤️by the way u got a cute smile 😊
Aw thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️ Let me know if you have any questions and here is another video you might like on Vilnius: th-cam.com/video/ooAU51i6T6c/w-d-xo.html (Travel Guide)
I absolutely love Vilnius and Lithuania has the best beer in the world, hands down...at least in my opinion. And you must try hot air ballooning there, as well as get to nearby Trakai, it’s former capital. I’m surprised it’s not more on the digital nomad radar.
Hi Dridgers! I think you'll love Lithuania. Here is my Vilnius travel guide: th-cam.com/video/ooAU51i6T6c/w-d-xo.html I would recommend to check out the walking tour, markets, and museums and make sure to eat a lot :) You can also do a hot air balloon ride and get a good view of the city from the Radisson Blu Lietuva. I heard the lakes and beaches are nice, too, although might be too cold at that time. Lmk any questions!
I would like to retire in Lithuania as a great grandson of Lithuanians and Poles. I love having so many countries nearby especially since I’m a hockey guy I would be able to go to Belarus, Russia, Czechia, Slovakia by train or plane. Lithuania definitely I met friends here in New Jersey from Lithuania. I would enjoy trying to track more of my great grandparents family roots.
Good video, but one town cant show how Lithuania so beautifull for the nature, I am living in USA now but cant wait to move back to Lithuania, for me its the most attractive place in the world maybe because I was born and raised there!
Lithuania has a ton of interesting things it was last Pagan nation to fall to Christianity 1k years after other pagans fell. Then Hill of Witches. And the language is in common with Sanskrit which is amazing to think about the migration of languages.
Hi, my name is Elvis.. you have a very simple and nice video. Please can you give me specific information.: My question is, does Lithuania allow digital normad to take up paid job? I am a good cook and on the sides, I would like to put my experience and passion into good use. I know Portugal allows DNormads to do paid jobs. Does Lithuania allows paid job alongside being a DNormad? I will appreciate your reply. Kind regards Elvis
@@Nuttyynut Totally agree. Took my family to Lithuania in September and our expectations were highly exceeded with the food, accommodations, and tourist sites.

400 square meters for 800K people doesn't seem a whole lot. 😂 Factory farming conditions, I'd say. Half a square meter per person.

If you guys visit Lithuania, do not forget to visit 'Pirmas blynas', this is a social restaurant where they hire peolpe with Down syndrome. A fantastic social initiative with the best pancakes in Lithuania!
That's awesome to know! Thanks for sharing Tomas 😊
Cocktails are more expensive than 4€. It is from 6 to 10€ at least. Beer could also cost up to 5€ at some places in the old town.
Wow I never paid that much!
Lucky you! :D I never saw a cocktail in Vilnius for just 4€... I asked some of my local friends to write price ranges for drinks (beer and cocktails) in Vilnius, just to make sure I am not dreaming and spreading disinformation :) so, everyone agreed that it is almost impossible to find cocktails in Vilnius for just 6€... and to my personal surprise one person said that right before quarantine she saw few places in Vilnius where the beer was already over 6€! I personally paid 5€ at Dirty Duck Pub for a pint of beer in winter. Of course prices are still lower in Vilnius than in the majority of Western European cities but it is not longer that cheep as it used to be 5-10 years ago. In fairness, in a good restaurant in Vilnius you pay exactly the same what you’d be paying in Berlin, Paris and so on. What is really cheep(er) here comparing with the booming economies, is Real Estate and rent... but food, drinks are not cheep at all, even clothes, footwear is quite expensive and Lithuanians usually travel (well, were travelling) abroad to do shopping :D it was better to shop in London than Vilnius especially during sales ;)
tadugz wow; last summer we found soooo many cheap drinks! I think I have some menu pictures still but maybe prices are going up
I see you are a great human being who replied every comment in this video.I’m planning to get there in Lithuania for work ..your video gave me lots of information about the country and cost of living,Thank you for making this video Christine 👍👍❤️by the way u got a cute smile 😊
Aw thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️ Let me know if you have any questions and here is another video you might like on Vilnius: th-cam.com/video/ooAU51i6T6c/w-d-xo.html (Travel Guide)
@@TravelingwithKristin thank youu 🤗
nice place. i love it.
Ditto!
I absolutely love Vilnius and Lithuania has the best beer in the world, hands down...at least in my opinion. And you must try hot air ballooning there, as well as get to nearby Trakai, it’s former capital. I’m surprised it’s not more on the digital nomad radar.
I love Vilnius, too! Drank quite a bit of beer there, myself :) Definitely adding hot air ballooning to my list!
I’m planning to some of my gap year in Lithuania 🇱🇹 I’m looking forward to it is there any amazing areas which you have to see there 💙💙
Great idea! Make sure to go to the lakes and the beach - I didn't have time to go
Traveling with Kristin thanks for the advice 💙💙
Great video many thanks . Warm greetings from the garden island of Kauai. I am Lithuanian
You're welcome! Love Kauai!
Amazing place to visit and live; lovely place 🎉
Booked a flight to Vilnius in January what would you recommend to do and see for a young travel couple 😊
Hi Dridgers! I think you'll love Lithuania. Here is my Vilnius travel guide: th-cam.com/video/ooAU51i6T6c/w-d-xo.html I would recommend to check out the walking tour, markets, and museums and make sure to eat a lot :) You can also do a hot air balloon ride and get a good view of the city from the Radisson Blu Lietuva. I heard the lakes and beaches are nice, too, although might be too cold at that time. Lmk any questions!
@@TravelingwithKristin thank you Kristin
It looks clean
It was!
Jesus loves you repent and trust in him and you will be saved !
This is an awesome video, very informative.
Thanks Cinnamon! We worked hard on it!
It looks like a calm and clean city.
wellcome, Kristin
Thank you!
I would like to retire in Lithuania as a great grandson of Lithuanians and Poles. I love having so many countries nearby especially since I’m a hockey guy I would be able to go to Belarus, Russia, Czechia, Slovakia by train or plane.
Lithuania definitely I met friends here in New Jersey from Lithuania. I would enjoy trying to track more of my great grandparents family roots.
That sounds like a great idea! I think it would be a really nice place to retire, too.
Good video, but one town cant show how Lithuania so beautifull for the nature, I am living in USA now but cant wait to move back to Lithuania, for me its the most attractive place in the world maybe because I was born and raised there!
I completely understand your love for Lithuania, Juletta! 🇱🇹❤️ Wishing you a wonderful journey when you move back🌍🏡✈️😊
Crazy, digital nomad everywhere in CM, and one of those DM ppl from CM appeared.
What is CM?
Lithuania has a ton of interesting things it was last Pagan nation to fall to Christianity 1k years after other pagans fell. Then Hill of Witches. And the language is in common with Sanskrit which is amazing to think about the migration of languages.
That is awesome, would love to visit soon. Thanks for sharing @ShakoStarSun!
You are so nice , and vilnius is so lovely place to visit for sure
I don´t know about Vilnius being a small city, the population is 590.000. The population of Miami within city limits are about 470.000
thanks for the video ! i think lithuanian language is related to sanskrit which is in fact the oldest language !
You're welcome! Yes I think it's maybe the oldest in Europe
Yes, there are many cognate words in Lithuanian and Sanskrit.
My GrandParents were born there. Both Mother and Fathers side
How nice!
Mine to

Hi, my name is Elvis.. you have a very simple and nice video. Please can you give me specific information.:
My question is, does Lithuania allow digital normad to take up paid job? I am a good cook and on the sides, I would like to put my experience and passion into good use. I know Portugal allows DNormads to do paid jobs. Does Lithuania allows paid job alongside being a DNormad?
I will appreciate your reply.
Kind regards
Elvis
If you are planning to get paid jobs from Lithuanian employers you will need a different visa.
It’s so fun living in Lithuania cause I lived there now I live in UK XD
I like UK too but Lithuania is quite special! Where are you in UK?
Oh in uk am in Nottingham

You are welcome, macandches! 💗

Why Lithuania is cheap in touristy places is simply because we don't get many tourists yearly. Lithuania is a super unspoiled tourist place.
Very underrated!
RᴀɪɴDᴇᴠᴏᴜʀ Lithuania is beautiful ❤️
Lithuania is still on the way to be touristic place. But it doesn't mean it is not worth. American tourists could show the example by visiting there 😁
Simona Kersyte I'm American and loved Vilnius check out my Lithuania vlogs ❤️
@@Nuttyynut Totally agree. Took my family to Lithuania in September and our expectations were highly exceeded with the food, accommodations, and tourist sites.
Just watched Johnny on bald and bankrupt and searched Lithuania found this video and Johnny is on it 🤣👍🏽

Ahh to be your sunglasses in your summer travels…
