Lithuania

LITHUANIA

Why Lithuania?

Lithuania surprised me with how well-kept it feels, how much green space it has,
and that sense that the city breathes with the Neris river and its parks.
Vilnius feels genuinely eco-minded — and you can see it in mobility and urban space.

  • Best feeling: the mix of a modern centre and calm green corridors.
  • Pace: lively enough, but without “big-city stress”.
  • Vibe: lots of walking, cycling, and riverside recreation paths.

What I’d highlight

Short “stops” — similar to travel guides, with clear sections and quick takeaways.

Walks along the Neris River

The best way to catch the city’s rhythm: bridges, promenades, and calmer riverside stretches.

The Old Town

The contrast between history and modern architecture is very photogenic — perfect for an evening walk.

Kaunas & an industrial contrast

Visiting infrastructure and energy facilities gives you a completely different perspective on “sustainability” in practice.

ATHENA University in Vilnius

As part of the Sustainability Summer School at Vilnius TECH, I worked in an international group
researching noise pollution in Vilnius and developing concrete proposals for a healthier urban environment.

We found that the largest share of urban noise comes from traffic (commuting),
especially in areas with many offices and daily migration flows.

What we proposed

  • more green barriers (trees, vegetation strips) as a natural noise shield,
  • incentives for public transport and reducing private car trips,
  • sustainable planning and noise reduction in major urban intersections.

Eco direction (visual + content)

Minimal design, natural textures, and subtle “leaf” patterns in the background —
so the page matches the eco feel without turning kitschy.

Background

A gentle “paper / organic” background + very low-opacity decorative elements.

Typography

Lots of whitespace, clear headings, calm contrasts.

Sections

Each section is a “block” with its own micro story and highlights.
