Neriatunas UAB

Senior Wellness & Travel Correspondent leading editorial coverage of Lithuanian wellness tourism. Crafting detailed, honest guides that empower readers to make informed decisions about their retreat experiences.

Philosophy & Approach

What drives Audra is a deep belief that accessible, affordable wellness experiences shouldn't require international travel. Lithuania's natural resources and hospitality sector offer world-class alternatives.

Her approach combines personal experience with rigorous journalistic standards. She visits every location personally, stays overnight, and tests services firsthand before recommending them. No shortcuts. No sponsored content dressed up as editorial.

She brings this philosophy to her work at neriatunas UAB, creating comprehensive guides that go beyond surface-level travel tips. Her writing explores the genuine healing potential of Druskininkai's mineral springs, the restorative power of Aukštaitija's forests, and the quiet rejuvenation found in lakeside cabins near Trakai.

Every article, every recommendation, every destination guide is built on years of on-the-ground research and a genuine passion for helping readers find the peace they're searching for.

"Accessible, affordable wellness experiences shouldn't require international travel. Lithuania's natural resources and hospitality sector offer world-class alternatives that actually work."
