My best holidays

I like travelling. I have visited many countries inside Europe and in other continents. In my opinion, the best thing that travelling experience teaches is the understanding that a single person is only a small part in the world. This understanding taught me to be more tolerant.

When I was a student I used to travel a lot. Once, my roommate and I went on a tour by foot along Ūlos, Merkys and Nemunas rivers shores. We were late, so we had to catch up with the group that started its trip the day before. We started our trip in the old village Marcinkonys. As it was dark and raining, we lost our way and decided to return to Vilnius. Luckily, one woman suggested staying at her house. She gave us warm tea and dry clothes.  We were very grateful.

Next morning we crossed the little river with hanging bridge and found the group. When we were going along romantic Ūla, we saw steep river banks, wide grasslands. In the middle Ūla turns into a valley and flows through old villages hidden in Gudu wood. I think Ūla is the most beautiful river in Lithuania.

We also climbed up to Merkine’s mound near Merkines River. All the nights we spent in tents, made campfires, sang many Lithuanian songs about the past of our country, which were suppressed and forbidden in soviet time.

To walk 140 kilometers by the river bands in four days wasn’t an easy task for girls. Therefore, we were proud of ourselves when we reached our aim. This trip made me realize that our country’s nature is beautiful. Now, once I have a free weekend I try to visit some little towns or cities and to find some small lovely details in the nature.

Viskas priklauso nuo tikėjimo

Rekomenduoju pasižiūrėti labai įdomų ir tikrai motyvuojantį video. Dėkoju Valdemarui, už tai, kad jis nusprendė pasidalinti šiuo video su visais Kalbio bičiuliais.

Šiek tiek gramatikos

Gramatikos niekada nebus per daug. Šį kartą rekomenduoju pasiskaityti apie tiesioginio sakinio struktūrą. Tai pat rasite ir kelis pratimukus pasipraktikavimui. Sėkmės!   Tiesioginio sakinio struktūra

My best holidays

“I am sitting in the tent at the height of 4 km seeing just rocks and snow around and preparing for the overnight. Today is Saturday. But it doesn’t mean anything because I am in Caucasus Mountains. Today we woke up at 5 a.m. and we were planning to go to the summit, but it was raining very heavily and we decided to sleep till 8 a.m. It was rainy all day so we stayed in our camp.” It is a small fragment from my diary. I know it is hard to believe that someone chooses cold, severe weather conditions and obscurity during summer holidays.

Being in the mountains is very easy. We keep running away from civilization, communication and information overload. Here we forget all the convenience, but we rediscover nature.

Some people are wondering why others are going to the mountains. Is it really funny to carry a rucksack weighting around 25 kg, sleep in a tent on the rocks or snow, be often hungry or feel obscurity? But my answer is really easy. I agree with the opinion of other travelers “we go to the mountains because they are”. Everyone chooses different way of holidays. For me the best holidays are to go further from the comfort zone, to purify thoughts and to recover spiritually.

My Best Holidays

I had many holidays: boring and interesting, fun and too long, warm and cold. But my best holiday is in my dreams.

It must be at the wild nature near the river or sea. The weather is warm. There I am and... Actually, I prefer to be only with myself because if there are more people, then the mode of life begins. I hate household works, because they devour our time and deprive the joy of life. So, my dream holiday is my holiday without the mode of life: the wild nature, I, my dog and maybe my cat. The food is simple: fish from the river, berries from the forest, and only coffee from civilization. The book? Why not? The book such as „Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance“ would be a good choice.

One week of natural existence, with missing people, with knowing that you can return to them when you want.

Kalbio E-klubas

Sveiki Kalbio bičiuliai!

Šį ketvirtadienį Kalbio E-klube kalbėsime apie ateitį:

The world is changing every single day. Yesterday we used candles to light our homes and today we drive electric cars. Our grandparents had no idea about computers, smartphones or travelling to space. Therefore, we are going to speak about the FUTURE. What will the life in the future be like? Will there be robots everywhere?  How will technology change? What are your dreams about the future? What do you expect from the future? Or maybe we can predict the future?
