“Life in Russia had become difficult for our family. We craved a safe and secure environment for our children, Olga and Ivan. The Open World identified Lithuania’s Descent Route as the perfect fit for us, thanks to my grandfather’s Lithuanian heritage. The process was smooth and efficient, and The Open World’s team was there every step of the way. Now, we’re happily settled in Vilnius, surrounded by warm and welcoming people. The Open World helped us reconnect with our roots and build a brighter future for our family.”
