    This American Lived In Lithuania For 3 Years & Loved It! (ft. Mark of Wolters World)



    A few years before starting his YouTube 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.

      I have seen Marks videos before, didn't know he lived in Lithuania or made videos about it. I'll have to check them out.

      Iranian and I have MAD respect for Lithuania for standing up to China and supporting Taiwan.
      We here in Asia are tied up to them and they dictate for us as if we don't get enough of that with our own regime.
      It's nice to see a nation stand up to a global bully.
      Thanks for taking one for the whole planet!

      Lithuanian is the oldest spoken language in the world
      there is over 35k words in Lithuanian
      Back in a day Lithuanians conquered land all the way to the Black sea

      It's easy to love Lithuania if you have a middle class Western salary. These days, it's a neofeudal society. Only the top 5-10% of income earners live to Western European standards. The gentrification of Vilnius and Kaunas has created a existential housing and cost of living crisis. 15% increase in real estate prices nationally just last year, it's a cancerous mix of FDI and a oligarch class with nothing else to invest in locally. Consumer prices are as high as Western Europe or higher, with 1/3 or 1/5 the salary As we say, Polish salaries with German prices. 25% of the population has emigrated in the last generation, and it is not stopping. It is the second quickest shrinking country on Earth. We are not really doing well, but we have extreme neoliberal dogma in our politics so we are not allowed to even question our neofeudal state, or the nepotism flaunting political and business class, without being called a vatnik or communist.

      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.

      Amazing collaboration! Thank you both so much for this video!

      Once Rick Steves retires, I nominate Mark to replace him!

      We are not cold, we are reserved.
      Not a Lithuanian here, but we in this North-East part of Europe are quite alike, perhaps here in Latvia we are even more about minding our own business than Lithuanians, since we are a bit more to the North. 🤣

      Thank you for the video clip of Lithuania… A beautiful country – I has just visited for 3 days during 17-19 June. Trakai is so peaceful and I love to see many beautiful old (but very very cosy and beautiful) wooden house. Quite interested in retirement in Lithuania, really. I am planing to visit Lithuania again next year for one week or more. Best Wishes from Stockholm – Sweden

      I was always appreciating my beautiful country, but now since I moved to Germany – I appreciate Lithuania even more! 😀 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 🙂

      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.
      I ended up staying for 3-weeks and went home after spending maybe the best time of my life.. once home I couldn't forget Lithuania, I quit my job and went back living there for a year and half. I since then went back many times….
      I love Lietuva and the Lithuanians….
      As uz lietuva
