Do you have a funny story from your work life?

Actually, I was the first employee of the Wargaming Vilnius office. When I started, there was nothing – no furniture, computers, anything. It was a blank canvas that we could build and create something unique. But with great power comes great responsibility, and I made sure to rise up to the challenge. I worked hard every day, establishing our processes and procedures from the ground up – from ordering the equipment and setting up our workspace to hiring new employees and creating an environment where they could thrive. I’m proud of what we built together in such a short time – a vibrant workplace like none other!

Could you share your thoughts about the privileges of being in Lithuania? What do you like the most about this country? Tell the fact why everyone should visit Lithuania!

My home country of Lithuania is truly a special place. Having experience living elsewhere for me, I know it stands as the best country to live in, surrounded by people who love it and are willing to make it better. I’m proud to call it my home and be part of a nation full of life. What I love the most about Lithuania is its ability to take something old and make it brand new again. From restoring old castles and churches to embracing traditional cuisine with a modern twist, Lithuania is always on the move.

When it comes to visiting Lithuania, there’s so much to see and do. Whether you’re looking for relaxation in one of the country’s many spas or parks, or you’re ready for an adventure with activities for every season and taste. But don’t forget all the fantastic food! No matter where you go in this country, you will find delicious Lithuanian cuisine that you’ll talk about long after your visit ends.
