“This trip to Klaipėda we chose on purpose: it is very important for us to get acquainted with the railway infrastructure and passenger experience. This was the first „vacation“ trip for our colleagues who came to spend their time at the seaside both to build teamwork spirit and discuss some strategic issues in an informal way,“ – says Evelina Vasiliauskaitė, Project Manager of Lithuanian Railways.

A finance consultant Simas Baranauskas came to Klaipeda after a 10-year break and found it to be a great place to escape from a daily routine in any weather. In Simas words: „If you choose to come to Klaipeda, stay here for longer than just a couple days. First, the change takes you out of the comfort zone and the feeling is rather strange. Yet, when you stay longer, you start finding new things about yourself. I was doing my usual tasks here in Klaipeda, but I felt like I have changed my job. Everything was different. We ended up breaking our sales record during the workation. I cannot claim that the record was a direct result of the workation but changing the environment did really have an impact. I went to the beach every second day and quickly learned that the sea is great not just on a sunny day – the wind and rain bring amazing waves. “
