A Uruguayan woman of Lithuanian origin has visited Lithuania about 10 times: she feels at home here

Veronica Kavaliauskas, a Uruguayan of Lithuanian origin, has visited her grandparents' homeland about 10 times. She discovered her connections with Lithuania on her own, and eventually decided to learn the Lithuanian language. She admits that close ties to two countries bring turmoil to her perception of identity. In Uruguay, as Veronica says, she is considered Lithuanian, and in Lithuania, Uruguayan.
