Hostinger Employees Gather for the Summerfest Celebration

The annual Hostinger Summerfest has just taken place. Greater than 300 people gathered in Trakai, the town of lakes, for this yr’s celebration. 

This yr, we invited Hostinger team members to embark on a Journey of Growth, symbolizing our collective progress and achievements. Hostinger employees from all around the world got here to rejoice: there have been people from Brazil, Indonesia, India, Lithuania, and other European countries. 

Akmenos Villas & Bungalow, the venue for the event, was was a magical place with people wearing white, covered in glitter and golden tattoos. Our clients were a part of the celebration, with Virtuvės Būrelis taking good care of the food and Urban bartenders mixing the cocktails. 

Unforgettable Challenges and Experiences

A spectacular celebration demands a grand opening. After Vilnius Gospel Choir’s outstanding performance of Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now“, Hostinger co-CEO Daugirdas Jankus made a speech stuffed with gratitude and inspirational words. 

Leadership and teamwork were tested with the Epic Raft Race challenge. Teams built boats and rafts and competed against each other. While a variety of the makeshift floatables successfully reached the finish line, the others, unfortunately, found themselves sinking beneath the waves. As well as, there was an unlimited inflatable unicorn and lots of standup paddleboarding boards within the lake that day.

Later, everyone could find an activity to suit them: leap onto an inflatable trampoline, take part in leatherworking workshops, take DJ lessons, and even walk on glass and nails. Healthy lifestyle practitioner Alanas Dzeranovas was there, too, and he’d brought an ice bath with him. He was teaching respiratory exercises and guiding Hostingerians who dared to enter the icy waters of the bathtub. 

And what’s a summer party and not using a live musical performance? One of the crucial famous Lithuanian singers, Vaidas Baumila, graced the stage. Energy-filled dancing and singing was the very best method to end the day and mark the starting of Q3. 

First-Hand Impressions

For many of our colleagues from abroad, it was their first time visiting Lithuania. They were completely satisfied to share their thoughts about Summerfest and experiencing a brand new culture.

Roberta Correa, an Influencer Partnerships Manager, got here from Brazil to Summerfest and said she’d always remember it. Along with having fun with the party, she also had time to explore the Trakai Castle. 

“It felt excellent to satisfy other teams in Lithuania. I had a likelihood to speak and get to know people personally, and a few even recognized me! This sort of networking will help us to work together in the longer term,” Roberta shares. 

Work Hard, Play Hard

Rebecca Pimenta-Blight, a CS Talent Acquisition Lead, got here from France and highlighted that she loved how green and exquisite Lithuania is. She was amazed at what number of potato-based dishes Lithuanians have and the way delicious they’re. 

“I communicated with loads of foreign colleagues on the party. This cultural exchange is beneficial to understanding the way to respectfully and effectively engage with people. The visit strengthened my connection to Hostinger and deepened my sense of pride and commitment as a distant contractor,” she says.

Breaking Culture Barriers

Daniela Chan, web optimization Outreach Lead, got here to the party from Portugal. During her visit, she felt relaxed due to quiet streets and smaller crowds. It was Daniela’s first time attending Hostinger Summerfest, and he or she says it was interesting to see how Lithuanians party.

“Nothing beats meeting people head to head. So the highlight was my bonding with the team and meeting recent people. This sort of connection helps break down some cultural barriers, and you’ll be able to more easily appreciate the differences that may’t be transmitted online,” she acknowledges. 

Expectations Exceeded

As all the time, this yr’s Summerfest was the place to mix cultures, discuss various topics, and participate in a variety of activities. Most Hostingerians echoed the sentiment that the event had exceeded their expectations. They loved having the unique likelihood to bond with and meet people they’d only interacted with online before. 

Additionally they say that the Summerfest served as a reminder of Hostinger’s appreciation for his or her labor and dedication. It was reminder that it’s essential to search out the time to calm down and enjoy ourselves.
