Travel journalist Orijus Gasanovas is embarking on a summer journey across Lithuania, but he's not traveling alone. His unusual companion is an interactive sculpture of a tick, created by artist Artลซras ลฝilinskas, which he has playfully named "(Not) a Wheel of Fortune."

This unique art installation accompanies Gasanovas as he explores Lithuania, adding an artistic and thought-provoking element to his travels. The sculpture itself is designed to be interactive, inviting engagement from those he encounters on his journey.

In the latest season of his program, "Orijus's Holidays in Lithuania," the journalist is not only interviewing notable figures in their hometowns but also engaging with the public. He is asking random passersby a crucial question: whether they have received the vaccine for tick-borne encephalitis, highlighting a public health concern alongside his travelogue.
