I met a girl from Lithuania online, I'm from USA. Last year I moved to Lithuania and I love it. My girl is absolutely incredible and I adore her beyond measure. She's gorgeous, intelligent, loves nature, hates winter, lives on potatoes and sour cream, very superstitious... we're getting married soon and I couldn't be happier💛💚❤️

Happy Lithuanian Independence Day! 🇱🇹
Lithuania is not the country most talked about, which was why it was so much fun to finally tackle it!
Oh, and you always ask me if the lead actors are dating in real life. These two actually are 😆
What was your favorite part of the video?

[mostafaelnahass]

I liked the honesty part. I think everyone should value this trait as a positive trait

[ronfarkas]

This is probably the most ideal kind of woman I've seen on this channel so far. Progressive, cultured, laid-back in that European way without the drinking problem (or needing alcohol to even have a personality) and warm and romantic like Latinas/Asians without the toxic jealousy and regressive stereotypes. Tells you the truth when you need to hear it, but knows how to be kind when you need it too. In short: Go Lithuania!

[Curtis]

Lithuanian women sound cool as hell. Educated, honest, watches basketball, hates winter and tries to make it go away, and makes meals from just potatoes. If only I could tell them apart from Latvians.

[redroverredrover]

Released on Lithuanian Independence day too. Class.

Love it im 74 and my entire family came from Lithuania. I dont get to hear the language much anymore since my parents and older relatives have passed away. So happy i found this !! Acìu libai

[utkarshg.bharti]

It's amazing how so many of old Lithuanian traditions are similar to Indian traditions. Even the language - I did some search online and found out that Lithuanian and Sanskrit are like distant cousins and share an eerily high number of words and grammatical structures.

Finally the country where I live, thank you Marina for showing to the world Lithuanian customs, and btw guys Riga is not in Lithuania :D

[CineShinya]

Finally a Lithuanian episode! I have been wishing for one for years! (And I am not even Lithuanian, I am Greek with a bunch of Lithuanian friends). I was expecting the basketball part and I was not disappointed~
Lithuanians have also great music, a very fancy Bikeshow, and cinema. Their country is also beautiful, I just simply love them.

[roblekan]

An art date would be amazing. Especially from a different culture. What an amazing way to learn

[eugenerisi]

The actors were incredible in this one! Congrats :)

[JediBunny]

I loved seeing this as a half-Lithuanian! My grandparents fled from the Soviets in Lithuania and had my mom in England. They helped raise me and passed many of their traditions onward. They were the kindest people I’ve ever known, and also very wise and intelligent. I can see many traits of my own mother here, and of myself. I believe honesty is a virtue, being nature makes me feel like my truest self, I am more introverted and I don’t enjoy loud bars or parties - and I also cannot stand the cold lol! I love being part Lithuanian 🇱🇹 💛💚❤️ thank you for this video!

[kamilasierpinska]

It's official, I'm Lithuanian at heart ♥ Love potatoes, love garlic and I'm obsessed with mushroom picking! Greetings from Poland! Ps. We also have some tradition for chasing winter away. We burn winter's effigy and throw it in the river. So Lithuanian traditions shown in the clip seem to be more peaceful.

[Name-pbgf]

Greetings to Lietuvan brothers and sisters from Sakartvelo! 🧡💚❤

[henri]

I don't blame him for his thought about Latvia and Lithuania, in fact i even thought the people and culture there are pretty close, literally and geographically

[haroldcampbell]

Vilnius is one of my favorite cities. I would love to return some day.

[JekyllOrHyde]

Norwegians also have a deep connection with nature and they also do edible mushroom pickings 🍄 as well in their own forests 🌲 🇳🇴

[intreoo]

Lithuania is one of my favorite countries in Europe. They preserved their pagan culture and traditions which the rest of Europe abandoned for Christianity. They've had a glorious history as part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, as well as difficult histories such as the Nazi and Soviet occupations, but despite that, have braved through. Their language is also said to be the closest to Proto-Indo-European, which is the origin of ALL Indo-European languages!!!! I also respect them for having the balls to go against China in regards to Taiwan.

Such strong, educated, and inspiring people, from a beautiful country. Love from Korea!

[giuseppecappelluti]

1:02 that’s true. It is quite easy to mix up Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.
To distinguish Lithuania from the other two countries, just think Lithuania is the only Catholic country of the trio and it was an empire (Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth)
