5×5 with Audri: Ferries and Radio
Audri is ClickDealer’s resident wild card, known for her boundless energy, unwavering confidence, and eccentric solutions that always seem to work out. Today we will find out what propels her towards success.
1. Describe yourself in three words.
Optimistic, caring, trustworthy (at least that’s what my friends told me to put here, hehe).
2. What do you love most about your position?
My role is super rewarding in that I get to witness the growth of people. I love seeing their personal progress and I’m glad to be a part of that. I also enjoy that my position requires to “expect the unexpected”, so every day brings new challenges and allows to learn something new. Finally, since I’m quite a social person, I enjoy working with people from all over the world and get super excited when I get to meet them in person.
3. What is your favorite pastime?
After moving to Amsterdam, I fell in love with biking. I love exploring the city and its outskirts, which is incredibly fun to do while cycling. In general, I’m quite an outdoorsy person, so if the weather allows it – I try to spend as much time outside as possible (walking, cycling, chilling in the park – you name it). On the contrary, I am also a bit of an addict of some TV shows, so I spend a bunch of time on that as well (probably more than I should, hehe).
4. What makes an ideal vacation for you?
I am not the kind of person who makes a list of must-visit tourist attractions when I go on holidays. So, for me an ideal vacation is a spontaneous and improvised one. I love going to places that I’ve never been to before and explore them either by scooter or local transport. That’s exactly what I did when I traveled Southeast Asia (Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia) for 1.5 months, and it was an ideal vacation indeed. For short breaks I don’t mind visiting cities, but for longer periods of time I have to go somewhere with a lot of nature and beaches.
The ritual has been completed.

Here’s a bunch of trivia about Audri’s peculiar life:
– I’m from the most beautiful resort in Lithuania, and I need to use a ferry every time I want to reach my homeland.

– When I was 9 months old, I was learning how to walk and hit a corner of a piano with my forehead. Still have a scar.
– For a short period of time I was a co-host of a radio show.
– I cannot stand loose hair when I’m eating, so I always tie my hair before starting a meal (super weird, I know).
– I learned that I got a position at ClickDealer when I was high on narcosis after an operation. A couple of hours later I caught myself wondering whether it was a dream or real life. A week later I was packing my bags and moving to Amsterdam!
