Labas! I am a Samogitian born ginger boy who is getting involved in many projects where backpackers are hanging around.
I didn't like Kaunas that much till the day i came here to live and since then i love this city more and more every day. Local awesome people, nature, culture and the smiles in traveler's faces is what keeps my soul dancing.
Please let us, the people who live here, present you the most valuable places this city has to offer.
