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.
Once you add a map, we can use it as a subtle background in this section.
