Our First Time In LITHUANIA (Here's What We Thought)

In today's episode, we bring you along on our adventures in our 78th country of Lithuania🇱🇹 There's so much we didn't have time to get into in the video, so go do some more research on this super cool country if you're interested to learn more!
Follow us on Instagram for more: / oskaranddan
In our previous vlog, we showed you how we arrived in Vilnius from Riga and our first evening there. This video is from the rest of the stay, when we visited more places in Vilnius and took a train out to the gorgeous area of Trakai🏰

We are Oskar & Dan, two boys from Sweden who decided to change the course of our lives, drop out of university and start learning by living. We're planning to visit every country in the world before we're 30 with an initial goal of 100 before the end of 2022. By the time of posting this video, we're both 24 :)
Lithuania was country #78/197🌍
Thank you for watching!🙏😍

[@natalijaivanova7235]

I never stop being surpised about how beautiful my country really is when looked at through the eyes of the traveller. Sometimes I forget to notice, or take it for granted, but people like you remind me about all the little great things we have here in Lithuania :)

Amazing video!! I cant stress how underrated you guys are. The thing with alot of European countries is that they share alot of similarities, but identifying the difference and unique attributes to a country help you appreciate and understand the country and its culture even more! Thanks to you guys I found out a new interesting vegan Lithuanian that looks and I bet tastes as amazing, definitely going to try that sometime in my life! That castle and park thing was like something out of a fairy tale! Its so amazing I wish I could've been there :)) ❤️ Can't wait to see you guys do other continents! (Especially excited for Asia given its rich cultural diversity!)

Hello, I am Lithuanian and I am extremely proud of Lithuania, because it recovered from the Russian occupation in such a short time. I am also proud that Lithuania is visited by tourists. When I was a small child, I really did not think that Lithuania could be so proud of itself, but it happened and we, the entire Lithuanian nation, we will never and never allow them to occupy us. Glory to Lithuania, glory to Lithuanians. I love you

[@JonathanGillies]

Love you too!!!!!!

Really beautiful city/country, great light, nice vegan options 😋 Good job you guys great little vlog 😇😇 Sabrina

[@bonjornoj]

Hi, food couriers are walking because there will be no car parking right next to the cafe in the old town, and also because this couriers are usually delivered only in this area. Those who drive outside the old town are transported by car. It is wrong to say that Vilnius is relatively small, because Vilnius is 400 km2, while Stockholm with its suburbs is 381.63 km2. The Old Town you were in is only 2-3% of Vilnius. About 800 thousand people live in the Vilnius region. I live in the 10 kilometers from the old town, it’s clear that couriers bring food for me by car.

[@jag5798]

Baltic states took "ž" from Czechia, it's nice to see we are not the only place in the world using such letter!

Yep. And "č' as well.

And "Š"!

I think ex-Yugoslavian states took them too

[@newyorkeranew]

I can’t get my head around Czechia. It just doesn’t work. Czech Republic has some cool cache.

[@phuttyyt]

Since the languages aren't related, I guess they had them anyway ;) And in Estonian at least you only get the likes of Ž and Š in words of foreign origin.

Northern Europe is the general term for the geographical region in Europe that is approximately north of the southern coast of the Baltic Sea. Nations usually included within this region are Denmark, Estonia, the Faroe Islands, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway and Sweden...

That depends on your perspective... North Americans have no idea about the concept of Central Europe. For them everything north of the Alps is Northern Europe e.g. Germany or the UK.

Would you guys ever be interested in discussing the intricacies of traveling as a same sex couple? Just interested to hear about your experiences in different parts of the world and perhaps get your take on the practical/safety side of things. For example on how you decide whether to ask for a double room or a twin room in a hotel etc. Sorry if you've already talked about this stuff, just found your channel a couple of days ago and I'm still working my way through your backlog. :D The only travel channel I've ever done that with btw.

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

And related to this, will you visit countries where it is known to be unsafe for LGBTQI people such as Belarus?

[@OskarandDan]

Welcome here to our channel!❤️ This is something we're looking forward to discussing further down the line. We'll want to lay low for a while before we discuss it too openly. Hope you understand!❤️

Beautiful video! You should also know that Lithuania once was one of the only nations with secular views on religion and race in which flourished one of the better cultured societies of the time, real rich in every aspect

[@OskarandDan]

Yes!

[@dariusceponis7019]

P😊

[@dariusceponis7019]

😊

Honest question, though: do you guys ever feel like you're living too much too fast and that you get kinda numb to new experiences? Because I can't imagine what it must be like to go to so many countries in a row, I believe there would come a point where I would be so exhausted I wouldn't even remember my previous trips in full detail anymore, so that's why I'm asking, I wanna know what this is like for you. Thanks.

[@newyorkeranew]

Makes a lot of sense, but these videos are more than vlogs. They’ve a travel diary that will help these guys remember where they’ve been for many years to come.

[@OskarandDan]

Fair question! That's partly why we're documenting it, to be able to remember it all better (and for our family to have it, hopefully for generations, too). But we also spend more time than this in most countries. Latvia and Lithuania are just so close by that the trip got sorta rushed :) We also do take breaks in-between most trips, it's just not always shown here on KZbin. We LOVE our life and wouldn't trade it for anything else atm!

[@daivabaniene3815]

Hello guys! I see you did not go to Kaunas my hometown. It was funny because I live in Gothenburg Sweden right now. :) You did not missed to eat kibinai in Trakai, did you? People are going to Trakai from the rest of Lithuania just because of that! Well, Trakai castle of course, but KIBINAI (small cakes with meat, mushroom or cabage filling) and gira (kind of like cambucha but made from dark bread and cumin) the best refreshment out there in hot summer day!

I'm glad we are finally discovering each other. I've been to Brazil and Japan but never to Sweden or Denmark that is next door. But hopefully soon. Vilnius is my hometown.

(: I am also very happy that you crossed boundaries of Vilnius and visited Trakai. For your next trip in Lithuania I'd extremely recommend Kryžių kalnas (Hill of Crosses) as it was probably the one thing that impressed me the most in my own country. P. S. IKI means BYE in Lithuanian. (: P. P. S. Sorry for anti-vaxx protest, they are uncommon, but I guess every country has them, lol.
