"Join me in discovering the diversity and mysteries of Scandinavia, Russia and the Baltics. For me, the region is more than a destination full of culinary delicacies, fairytales, troubled pasts and bright futures. For me, a native of the area, it is shrouded in tales of escape and survival, family and social progress. At Cosmos, travel is more than a destination, it is a life experience!"

"I come from Lithuania, one of the Baltic States. Difficult to find, but hard to forget. I start breathing deeper and my heart rate goes up if you start talking about travelling. This is how I feel about travel. An active life as a Tour Director is the greatest gift I have because I feel that I am in a right place. I love different cultures and languages. I can say "hi" and "thank you" in dozens of languages. I love traveling in Europe, it`s an incredible continent with so many hidden places, it never stops surprising you. I have been to many places but Norway has become my favorite country to tour because of its landscape and nature."
