I did my Erasmus in Vilnius. This city always will have a special place for me.
Lithuania has never been on my radar. I'm so happy to be able to get some exposure to it through your videos. Who knows, I might visit there someday.
That's lovely, I'm so glad you are enjoying seeing a country you didn't know much about before :)
Lucky you! From Mexico to Vilnius! Amazing! Awesome! Wonderful! A miracle! Watching from Los Angeles, CA Steve Miller.
Okay, Lithuania is my bucklist for sure!!
Yay! I'm so glad :)
I am in Vilnius at the moment.....in real life - it doesn't look and feel like on the video at all.....Do you believe everything you see on video and read in newspapers ? There is something - that's called reality....
@@laura-bronner But I really like watching you and your videos......
@@keepcreationprocess do have to be so nasty about it? Is it so different?
@@SisterSherryDoingStuff I am just helping you to understand reality.
A tiny correction regarding the Three Crosses monument - it was rebuilt in 1989, but one exactly like the rebuilt one was first erected in 1916 and was blown up with TNT sticks by the Soviets in 1950. The ruins of the previous reinforced concrete crosses are placed nearby and can almost be seen in the video at 07:49 to the left. Other than that, thanks for your impressions and the video, I gladly watched it all with a smile on my face even as a lifelong Vilnensian. I also figured you could use our home turf support in terms of viewership/engagement to compensate for the loss in fans of only your earlier Mexico content. You're very welcome here.
Thanks for letting me know! Im so glad you enjoyed the video, it's always good to get feedback from people who know the city far better than I do! Thanks for your kind words, I'm really looking forward to exploring more of your beautiful country :)
Well, šaltibarščiai HAVE to come with potatoes and eggs, not just sometimes :DD
Oh just you wait until October, when the Autumn colours kick in. It will be a completely new experience all over again!
Can't wait to see those autumn colors!
@@laura-bronner Autumn doesn’t last long in the Baltic’s. The 'Baltic Beast' is coming, blizzards and sub-zero temperatures. You better stock up on winter clothes. But it’s fun, Snowmobiling and Ice fishing. Wish I was there. 😀
@@Byron4RollTide It really depends. Sometimes we don't have any snow cover until February, and anyway snow is a bit of a relief from the autumn blues.
@@ltu42 I know the weather is changing, especially in Europe.
Is the fishing still good in the Baltic’s.
They don't have to come with eggs, not everyone likes them that way
Great pronunciation for "šaltibarščiai". You are given "A" :)
Women don't sweat.... they glow! Loved it,
Great intro to Vilnius. Cheers to new adventures in Lithuania and beyond.
Thanks!
It's so fun to explore a new country with you! Lithuania looks beautiful - so clean! Thank you for sharing. ☺️
Thanks so much, I'm glad you're enjoying the videos! It is SO clean here!
Thank you for sharing a great tour of the town. It looks like a beautiful area.
Beautiful city! Bucket list, for sure😊
Awesome! It's really so beautiful! Hope you can get here soon :)
Great video! i highly recommend visiting Telšiai city,its built around a lake Mastis and it is very beautiful
Great shots on the views. Its an interesting place!
About October you want have to worry about the heat in the Baltic’s. You better get some Snow Shoes.👌
Just found your channel and loving it! Thank you. Also you are so gentle and respectful. ❤️
I so enjoy all your videos!
Thank you so much, I'm so glad you enjoy them!
Did a solo travel there for 5 days and absolutely enjoyed my time. Can't wait to come back! Cheers for the video! Watching from London 🇬🇧
Great Video! Your nailing a perfect formula that really shows how and what to do when visiting. We will always miss you here in Mexico, but are really enjoying your current adventure!
Thanks, Mike! Glad you're enjoying the videos!
Lithuania is amazing and has so much to offer💚 the slow living surrounded by the nature - what is not to love?! Warms my heart to see that you're enjoying your time there but it also makes me to miss my home country even more! Watching from Scotland 🏴
Looks like there's another channel for me to follow, btw Im glad you appreciate the nature of Lithuania because it's truly the biggest factor that brought me back to Vilnius
Thanks for following along! I really am loving all of the nature, can't wait to see more of it!
Yeah I Love that Lithuania has 4 different seasons, all diff experience
I live 30 Km from Vilnius. I walk everywhere as well. It's fun that way and yes, this country has greenery everywhere; just not the green I am looking for.
You are very engaging. Thank you!
Thank you so much!
@@laura-bronner The pleasure is all mine. (BTW I am a travel podcaster - maybe we can have you as a guest one day?)
COOL VIDEO ! Thank you !!!
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, glad you thought it was cool!
Welcome too lithuanian. Actualy im live and birth in lithuanian. Im recomended too explore the history. Lithuanian language is oldest in the world.
Love from villinius in lithuvainia
Vilnius has an amazing restaurant where they hire people with a disability. It is located in the Old town of Vilnius inside a church! The restaurant is called Pirmas blynas and I really recommend it!
Do you know why? Coz business get different taxes on it.
Great video
Thank you!
cool
food looks very heathy and hearty :DD
It's very hearty indeed! I have a more food focused video coming up this weekend to show you more!
Hi your video very nice from bangladesh
Hola, como estas?, que tal?,
Los mejores y más cordiales Saludos desde puente piedra, lima, Perú, ojalá que puedas venir en algún momento a mi país y que disfrutes mucho de todo por aquí, con la familia y los amigos, felicidades por tus vídeos...
Loved this video! It definitely seems like one big park. So much history too! Just curious to know what kind of job your partner landed for you guys to end up there?
Maybe you missed this one

He's a soccer coach :) That's also how we ended up in Mexico!
@@laura-bronner I'm in Chapala, Mexico now;) How cool he's a soccer coach. When I lived in Argentina, football was the national passion!
Well done on focusing on positive things,unlike other youtubers looking for nasty stuff!
Šaltibarščiai,cepelinai,kugelis,vedarai,mmm que rico!
Well, I wasn’t sure I’d be following you to Lithuania, but here I am! Haha I lived in Germany for 14 years, on and off so my interest in that part of the world is not as strong as it is in Mexico but….it’s so fun to see you adventuring in a new part of the world. Vilnius reminded me a bit of the Czech Republic. If you haven’t been to Prague, run, don’t walk. It’s one of the most beautiful cities in the world. You are eating some delicious looking food (excepting the beet soup which looks like a bowl of pepto bismol but I’m sure is yummy). Before the pandemic I was eyeing that group of countries. I feel like the pandemic has stolen 2 good years of travel from me. At 65 you start to wonder how many good years you have left to schlep around the world . As you know travel can be brutal, though well worth it. Anyone looking for a taste of Europe on a budget, can’t go wrong with the Baltic region. Your room had all you needed and looked clean. A bargain at 34 dollars. Didn’t plan to write so much, but you inspired me! Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment, I'm glad that you are enjoying the videos despite having more interest in Mexico. Travel can indeed be brutal, but I appreciate it now more than ever. Hope you get to get back to traveling again soon!
if next time in Uzupis - check out their hilarious constitution (it's a monument on a street) - worth to give it a read:)
Howdy. It looks nice there. Is it as cheap as it was in Mexico giving you the chance to make your meals out everyday and maybe go for some drinks?
try visid plnge its very nice town have big park and lot more stuff
Nice video, my advice visit curonian spit
Hoping to be able to get there before it gets too cold, but we'll need to rent a car :) Thanks!
You should try hot air balloon over the Vilnius. Of course it's expensive and you can't try whenever you want but it's worth that time
Is gariunai no longer operating? I think that used to be the biggest market, not hales.
I just looked it up, wow it's quite big, but maybe it doesn't come up for tourists since it's quite far out of the city? Is it worth checking out or is it more of a distribution market?
@@laura-bronner Gotta admit, I haven't been there in at least a decade. But it used to be not very tourist friendly. Just a sea of stalls in a parking lot with anything from clothes to gardening equipment.
I like it that you give us some history. The view from above was incredible. That is something I would do too. As for the heat, I think it is rare for that part of the world. All of northern Europe had high temperatures in July. In the south of Europe July was quite cool. That is global warming for you. Two questions: what is your impression of the level of English of the population you have met; and how do prices compare with those in Mexico?
Is lithuania open to US tourist?
Everything is better in the summer. I'll take the heat over frigid weather anytime. And besides perspiration cleans out your pores, softens the skin, and your nails are healthier, too. 🏜️☀️🙂🥰
🤔 What temperature there do you call „hot“? Can’t imagine it would be hotter in Vilnius than Baja?
It's not really a matter of one being hotter than another, it's just hot. I was in Baja from January to May and by the time I left the heat was quite terrible (35C/95F). Here it's not quite that hot. During the time I was filming this video it was 32-33C/88-91F, but there's quite a bit more humidity here than in Baja, hence all the sweating.
@@laura-bronner That’s really interesting! Both are „seaside areas“ hence the humidity 🤔 since your personal a/c is working obviously you’re blessed 😉
@@anneli1735 Vilnius is not in the seaside area. It is 300 km/185 miles away from the Baltic Sea and it has a humid continental climate in contrast to the Baltic seashore with the maritime climate.
Is lithuania is safe for outsider like none european.is it really safe to work/leave their????
It is so weird hearing someone say that Vilnius is so close to Utena. It's a whole 1,5 hour drive. :D
well yeah, shes from america so i see why she thinks its close. The country is massive. It would take like 6 to 8 hours to drive from san francisco to los angeles.
Is it possible to visit Vilnius now??
Yes, you just need vaccination. No tests, no isolation.
@@jygeb Thanks a lot
Lithuania work visa open or not
Is air conditioning not to be expected in most of Lithuania?
The majority of people don't have AC in their homes because it's only hot during summer, for the rest year it's cold
Summers are never this hot here so people never really bothered to get air conditioning.
🤔 no need to pay for that just for some very few weeks maybe days?
Before global warming there was no need for air conditioning... :/
I live in central New Hampshire, USA which is a couple of hours from Montreal, Canada. We too had to start with air conditioning about 8-10 years ago.
i wnat to work Lithuania Vilnius . im from india im completed diplama in mech any job for me
Enjoy the greenery! Lithuania is indeed one of greenest and underdeveloped countries in Europe with many lakes and forests remaining, where elsewhere they have been cut down. But it is also green because it rains a lot. It is even in the name "Lietuva" -> "lietus" meaning "rain".
It's not underdeveloped. It's developed just right amount. It's just nor overurbanized, that's for sure.
I enjoy your videos especially when your not Admiring yourself in the camera lighten up!!!!!!
I an tady. How do I immigrate as an American?:??
You'r also so beautiful and cutie)😘😘😘😘
No enchiladas?
Mexico 0, Lithuania 1...
I'd take Mexico any day and not just for the food
There are some really wonderful vloggers in Mexico who are making great videos that you can watch - Backpacking Brunette, Kinetic Kennons, Tangerine Travels to name a few. I'm sorry, but there won't be any Mexico content on this channel for quite a while.
Not interested in yourn current series in Lithuania. I may watch again if you return South American countries. Preferably All parts of Mexico or English speaking countries in the southern hemisphere. I especially liked your food reporting im Mexico. Bye bye.
