Studying abroad is considered by many to be an adventure. Going somewhere as a student, without a care in the world, sounds exciting. Most of times students choose more “exotic” destinations, but I chose Vilnius in Lithuania. Vilnius may sound boring, but as I found out, it has more than meets the eye. Beautiful landscape, history, architecture, food and drink, and it has character. Vilnius, and perhaps all of the Baltic states, are hidden gems. These are the places where history is combined with myths and religion. When you travel, you always find something new and unexpected. I learned to love these places, and also returned a couple of times. I am also happy to call the people I met and studied with, friends. Students should study abroad and maybe experience a different life. The experience is something that will stay with you for the rest of your life.
