Some of Our Favorite Travel Videos We Think Other Travelers Would Love

Our Travel Gear:
Microsoft Surface, Travel Laptop: We travel with a Microsoft Surface everywhere we go. I edit my videos on it & use it to backup my pictures and vides while we travel. It’s light and the best travel laptop on the market in my opinion.

Camera Sony Alpha Series: We use Sony Alpha series cameras to film our videos. They are compact so you don’t look like a super tourist when you take great pictures and videos while you travel.

Western Dynamics 4 TB external hard drive. This let's you save your pictures and videos from your SD cards while you travel without having to use a computer.

Manfrotto Tripods: We use Manfrotto Tripods. They are compact, travel well, and honestly I would not use another tripod for my nice cameras.

Travel Plug that works in pretty much any country & has four USB ports. A must for any traveler.

Our Packs/Luggage: Want to grab some great gear? We have used Osprey Packs for years & swear by them. Check them out here

Need some clothing for your next adventure? Patagonia has some pretty good stuff for all kinds of travelers.

The aim of the video: to tell FOREIGNERS about the dont's in Lithuania.
The audience of the video: 5% - foreigners; 95% - Lithuanians who came here to hear how cool they are.

You made us look like alcoholics.
I'll drink to that.

[mindaugaspetrauskas]

No one noticed how good you are in Lithuanian? Damn pronunciation is really good!

[meleris]

Dont let people force drink you, thats old soviet tradition to shame non drinkers.

[MinMin-kvrv]

Rule No. 1: Don't call Lithuanians slavic or just another Russian tribe. Especially when you had several vodka shots with locals lol! They can really steam up about it. Lithuanians are Baltic, and emphasise it a lot!!

jesus, i literally just searched up wolters world lithuania and i find this uploaded 4 minutes ago. what perfect timing! wow

[pycysyu]

Dont ask "how are you?" as a small talk. A Lithuanian might think you actually want to know how he/she is and that is too personal question to ask for a stranger.

As a Lithuanian i can confirm that most things he said were really true. The superstition bit- its more common amongst the elderly portion of our population :) but Walter is amazing and was so happy to learn that he lived there for a few years

[christophercobb]

I owe my life to a Lithuanian who extended an extraordinary act of kindness to me, when I was truly down and out. I can't wait to go to Lithuania, someday!

[Zilvis]

Love it. Especially the pronounced words. I wish you all to be "stiprus kaip meška" :D

[jonaswunderkind]

FYI its not like Lithuania decided to join USSR and then said "Ok, buddy, we gonna be on our own now, bye" :)) Lithuania was o c c u p i e d.

[estherstanton]

Married to a handsome lithuanian and our children are learning both English and Lithiunian. Fills my heart with pride to have met him and the family we have together immediate and extended 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇱🇹

[frednich]

wow, I remember when I used to shake hands with people. Seems like a lifetime ago

[TideKnotTravellers]

But if you visit Lithuania make sure you do visit beautiful Vilnius, Trakai Castle, Kernavé UNESCO & the interesting Hill of Crosses. The people are really lovely & we got chatting to some great people at Lithuanian Independence Day including an MP back in March this year just before the pandemic. Fantastic country 🇱🇹🥰

When a lithuanian finds new things in this video, you know its good.

[subell]

👍... im so glad u mentioned Chicago! My husband's family is from Chicago, meeting his grandparents and talking about polish heritage I was sternly informed we are not Polish We ARE Lithuanian!

[johnneiberger]

So many places in this video that I've been to. I love Lithuania.

[theronin]

As a local Lithuanian I’ve never heard about the scissors/knives thing, but if you DO walk across something from different sides, you can shake hands after it (as if you just met) and be done with it :D

[teodoramarkovic]

I'm Serbian but I relate to Lithuania a lot here, we love basketball, we bring flowers in odd numbers, we take our shoes off in houses etc. hahaha

[beandrag]

I’m so excited to visit all of the Baltic countries soon to connect with and learn more about my heritage🇪🇪🇱🇻🇱🇹
