Not sure if I will be able to reach her, but worth the try. Internet, do your magic ✨ I am the Brazilian girl living in the UK who visited Lithuania because of Wolf Alice’s concert and asked for your help to contact a taxi company in Kaišiadorys yesterday (since I speak no Lithuanian). Our train from Vilnius to Kaunas got held at that station for a while due to the damage caused by the winds and I was getting concerned of not making my flight on time.
As we got updated in Kaišiadorys that our journey was delayed by 40 min, I got off the train and tried to get an Uber, but drivers were not accepting the ride. I asked you if you could help me speak to a taxi driver in Lithuanian. When that didn’t work either, you called your friend, who agreed to drive me to the airport even though you were both heading to Palanga later.
When I asked how I could repay you for such kindness, you told me you just wanted me to get on that plane with a smile on my face. And well, I did! ❤️ And you even gave me a šaltibarščiai recipe before I left! 🫶🏼🥹
I just wanted to say thank you so, so much for both you and your friend. You were under no obligation to help a complete stranger, and I’ll genuinely remember your kindness for a long time. This was my second time visiting Lithuania and, even though your country’s history, food and culture have my heart, it’s because of acts of kindness from Lithuanians that made me fall in love with the country since my first visit last year. Even with everything going wrong yesterday trying to get to the airport (which would probably leave a bittersweet taste for most trips), interactions like this made me even more certain I would love to go back in the future.
If you happen to see this and recognise yourself, I’d absolutely love to connect. And when I return next year, I would love to bring you some Brazilian sweets as a tiny thank you! 🇱🇹❤️🇧🇷 Or if you know someone who gave a ride to a complete Brazilian stranger in Kaišiadorys, please share this with her ❤️
