Laura Paukštė together with her husband Dominikas Kubilius and their daughter Matilda decided to look at the quarantine with different eyes this year. 15 minutes He said that he had decided to move his work to Fuerteventura for a few months because so far everything is happening only remotely, there is no communication or meeting with loved ones and there are no prohibitions to fly.
“We chose the location based on its pandemic situation, availability (we wanted it to be in Europe) and of course the temperature. Another important reason was that our friends live on this island, more and more families come from Lithuania. Not only do we long for communication, but I also feel calmer when there are people around us, when the situation is so uncertain, ”said L.Paukštė.
Laura had previously lived with her family in the surrounding Canary Islands, but none, she said, is comparable to Fuerteventura, which she is visiting for the first time.
“I like everything here, the fact that there are relatively few people, that it is windy, that you can practice all kinds of water sports at any time, that the food is delicious and that it is not as touristy as the surroundings. I could name and name, because the friends who live here know everything about this island, we enjoy everything that only locals usually enjoy ”, smiles the interviewee.
Moving to this exotic country, everyday life doesn’t seem to have changed at all. The first half of Laura Paukštė’s day is dedicated to work. He helps his daughter with homework assigned by the teacher, then remotely participates in various job interviews and later conferences.
“Because there is a difference of two hours, the day with us begins at seven in the morning and there is a good afternoon left for practicing water sports, lying in the sea or other pleasures of the island.

Already here we finished the montage of a representative film about Lithuania, which, by the way, we saw on the occasion of March 11 with Lithuanians living or on vacation here. Next week we will be filming a social video, we will direct it from a distance, if it turns out to be worth it, then it is possible to stay here for a long time, ”says L.Paukštė.
The woman says that the rest is perfectly combined with science and work. Studying psychology was his conscious choice, he never misses classes, even on the contrary, he waits for them.
“I will finish the second year soon, so I already know how much effort it takes to reconcile work, science and family interests. What I can’t go on during the day are the nights – says L.Paukštė openly. – I came here knowing there would be a session, so the fact that sometimes I have to miss out on some of the island’s pleasures doesn’t scare me at all. And sitting in a remote exchange by the pool is more and more fun than sitting on a couch in Vilnius. “

Laura says she noticed that travel and accommodation prices also dropped significantly during the pandemic. In Fuerteventura, for example, the services of a kitesurf coach cost half the usual price.
“But now that the Easter holidays are approaching, all prices – car rentals, plane tickets and more – are rising at space speed,” says the interlocutor.
The situation of the pandemic on the island, according to Laura, is constantly changing. When he came here with his family, only about 100 people were sick, eight people could meet in public places, now only four.
“Masks are mandatory everywhere, except for sports and on the beaches, there is no self-isolation on arrival. We live on a remote island, there are few tourists here, but there are already rumors that if the pandemic situation in the Island worsens, Canary Islands will close. We are following the information closely, especially since we are now waiting for our older children to fly. 15 minutes said the producer.
She said that she and her family planned to return to Lithuania in a month, but the plans changed: the stay was extended. “I like it so much that I would be happy to stay another year or until it is our turn to get vaccinated in Lithuania,” smiled L. Paštštė.
