Hey everyone, Viltė here, the girl who stutters in the video :D

First of all, I want to say a huge thank you to Ammar & Staffan (and their coolest videographer!) for coming to Lithuania.
We may be small, but we have the biggest hearts, so huge thanks for filling them up.
In my wildest dreams I couldn't imagine to see you guys not on screen but in real life. It's still surreal.

And thank you for showing up to our festival (can't wait for everyone to come next year! Open invitation)

Yes Theory family, you are all invited to Lithuania, at all times. It's happy here. I promise you that :)

Love!

I’m a simple Latvian, I see video about Lithuania, I press like

[martinkoitmae]

I’m a simple Estonian - I see a video about Lithuania and I press like😎

Just to add a bit of context, the Hill of Crosses was completely demolished for several times during the USSR, but every time Lithuanian people would recreate it and bring even more crosses. Death can never win over Life.

I'm so happy that you've visited my country. And you chose the most relevant, iconic places, vital for every Lithuanian's identity. Happy to see us happy and sharing happiness with you, guys!

[matchaa]

From my (Estonian) perspective Lithuanians are just so fun, creative and outgoing people😊 I am so happy that Yestheory made a video about Lithuania❤

[kazimehrin]

"we waited for our time, we wanted to be polite." that was so sweet!!!

[YesTheory]

Staffan & Ammar here. We once again wanna say thank you to every single human we met during our visit to Lithuania. You made our trip extra magical (both on and off camera). We can’t wait to be back <3 Anyone got excited to travel here after this video? 👀

I did my exchange semester in Vilnius and it has been the happiest time in my life. Thank you Lithuania for having me. 🇱🇹❤️

My grandparents travel to Lithuania EVERY YEAR for vacation from the US! Came here to watch, ended up in tears of joy.

Hey y’all! I just arrived to Lithuania only in May, long story short, I’m in the U.S. Army and was sent here, originally I was going to Poland and I was so excited to go because I have a close friend I met back in the states and he lives in Warsaw and we haven’t seen each other in years. But I got news I was no longer going to Poland but instead to Lithuania, and if I’m being honest, I was not happy at all! 😒
Being from the states I have never left my country till this May, so when I thought I was going to Poland, a more popular country in Europe, I couldn’t wait. But instead I got Lithuania, and the only thing I knew about Lithuania was that they’re great at basketball 😅 But I tell you what, this country is amazing! I met someone from Lithuania that helped me see the beauty of this great country! Every opportunity I get I go to Vilnius to just walk around (or scooter around 😂) and just am amazed by the culture here. And to see a city that has gothic architecture, modern construction, and Soviet style monuments and buildings all at once is a sight to see! I can’t wait to explore more and am looking forward to visiting Kaunas soon as I can! This country is definitely a gem that needs to be more publicized and Yes Theory has gave it its spotlight it so deserves! This country will now forever hold a special place in my heart, and will definitely visit again when my time here is done 👍

Always loved Lithuania. Brother Latvian here. Used go to Klaipeda whith parents as a kid long time ago and have great memories together, when I finally turned 18 and passed my test, would every year for my birthday(in winter) to Vilnius! Stunning city and really friendly people. I thank Yes Theory for showing this beautiful country on their platform and hopefully more people will come and and experience Lithuania.

Hello i'm from the Philippines and I regularly meet Lithuanian tourists going for beach trips. They're really kind and cool people and very smart. And all of them are good looking too!

[xpyypyo]

I am an old American man of almost 75 who was never able to travel the world as many young do today. Stumbled across Yes Theory a couple of years ago and you guys always open my heart and mind with your videos. You travel with open hearts and minds creating large and small adventures most importantly deep connections however brief the encounter. Now I will return to Lithuania and know that I will be taught about the richness of being human in today’s mad times.❤🙏

Love to Lithuania 🇱🇹 from Estonia 🇪🇪 your Baltic brother

[tadaskasp]

Im Lithuanian! Its a pleasure to see my country be represented in such a warm light. I myself have been living in Ireland since I was 2 years old but as a kid I used to always go home for summers where I made my fondest memories. The past three years Ive once again started going back and I have realised how much I love my country. Being there I finally feel in the right place. Ive promised myself that once I finish my studies here Im going to move back home and start my career there. Negaliu sulaukt!

[mravalik]

Being half Lithuanian (my maternal great grandparents left during the war) this episode truly warms my heart and really brings to light how beautiful the country is.

Hello from Indonesia. Last year, I lived in Australia, and my landlady is Lithuanian. She was the kindest person during my time in Australia. She would sometimes give me her handmade cake and allowed me to use all the items in the kitchen. She even lent me a warm blanket during the winter as I didn't have one.
I hope God blesses her in Australia.

And one more thing, she always gave me advice and shared her knowledge about Europe because I plan to pursue my master's degree there. I am happy to have gained so much knowledge about European life and also learned more about my future courses.
I have been fortunate to hear many stories about the beautiful country of Lithuania.

14:23 me raising my sisters hand, who then flew on a hot air balloon with you 🥰🥹 Thank you for taking care of my sister and for spreading love (over fear)🧡 As with many of your other videos, I ended up with happy tears in my eyes while watching this.

The first destination I chose for traveling as an adult were the three Baltic as they always interested me and weren't too far away. I visited in early February and it was very cold, but when I reached Vilnius towards the end of my journey, it actually unintentionally matched with their national holiday - and coming from Germany, I could have never began to imagine people walking through the streets, singing in celebratation of their country together (in the middle of winter!). It was very inspiring to me and it is still one of my favourite traveling memories.

I'm from korea and like lithuania, korea was occupied during the world wars by japan, but the difference is that the prisons and places of resistance from that era is still a place of sorrow and pain, therefore many young people are sort of reluctant to visit. The lithuanians converting their historical sight to places of joy hit me really hard i wish koreans did the same.
