- A few years before starting his TH-cam channel (@woltersworld) Mark was living in Lithuania. He’s been back a few times since, and over the years, he’s made some great videos offering travelers solid advice on how to make the most of their time in this amazing Baltic nation.
So, I was ABSOLUTELY THRILLED when Mark was willing to make a guest appearance in one of my videos. I was quite keen to learn how and why he ended up living in Lithuania in the first place - and also get his opinions on certain aspects of Lithuanian life.

Thank you for the interview!
I have a similar story, I went to Lietuva fifteen years ago while on a trip by train through Europe. I was supposed to stay there just a couple of days and after just one day I decided that I wanted to stay longer. As soon as I went down the train and walked few minutes around I met a group of people in the streets they were celebrating the end of a construction job. I was looking for someone to ask where my hotel was and when I tried to ask the question they said put your bags down will help you but first have a party with us. They offered me drinks and food. We talked we laughed and when the party was over they took me to my hotel.... It was such a memorable time and experience. I woke up the next morning and said to myself I don't want to go I want to know this place and those people.
As a black male, solo traveller - I found Lithuania to be very pleasant. It’s tough sticking out, but I found Lithuanians didn’t care - in a good way! I had people stare and take photos in Latvia; but Lithuania was nice. The people were nice and helpful. The beers were good…the food - not the greatest. But I would definitely recommend and would visit again. Get out the city centre and enjoy the nature!
Mark was one of the first foreigners on YT who talked about his experience in LT. I really liked how he presented my country in a positive way.
Iranian and I have MAD respect for Lithuania for standing up to China and supporting Taiwan.
Mark is the type of a foreigner that Lithuanians like: friendly, happy, interested in local culture and cuisine, and not thinking of himself as a better human just because he's coming from the West. I can't see him not fitting in in Lithuania.
As a Lithuanian, I'm super appreciative for the work you do in bringing a spotlight to a tiny country such as ours. Despite the many issues Lithuania has, it's amazing to see someone, especially a non-Lithuanian like you or Mark, research, explain and educate more people on our tiny country.
He was my professor in the US, it was one of the most memorable classes I had :)
never knew my country gets so many tourists
I remembered that I’d seen that video of Mark where he told about food and about stiprus kaip meška. 😊
Wolter is so lovely, I have seen few of his videos about Lithuania and had no idea he started from my home town - Klaipėda. THis is just so lovely to know, thank you <3
I've seen Mark's videos a while ago. Very interesting fella, very energetic and when he talks he seems like he truly enjoys life. 😄
Dosnus - tai tas, kas mėgsta kam nors ką nors duoti ir dažnai ką nors kam nors duoda. You are right, dosnus means generous, but what’s in the Lithuanian word? Dosnus is a person (or a bush, earth or tree) who (or which) likes to give something to someone, and who (which) tends to do that often.
Mark you're welcome here anytime
I love this man's work. Good idea to have him as a guest.
We are not cold, we are reserved.
I was always appreciating my beautiful country, but now since I moved to Germany - I appreciate Lithuania even more! :D Free, peaceful, quite modern (compared to Germany), has fast and usually easy processes, good online infrastructure, social benefits, english speaking people, always developing. Really underestimated country, but it's even better :)
My dad moved to Kaunas, Lithuania from Denmark 15 years ago and is still staying there! :)
when you go to marijampolė and meet history teacher saulius pituška
I lived in Lithuania for 12 years. Went out in 95. Left in 2007.
