Latvia in couchsurfers eyes – part 1
What do You know about Riga, Latvia?

representatives of the nomadic tribe (couchsurfing.com) from
different countries, as well as the objects
which are recommended by Latvian travelers.
Let’s start!
Welcome!
Sabīne Lazuhina, Riga, Latvia
“The Baltics intrigued me – the trio of former Soviet Union countries
that border the Baltic Sea. I had only planned to travel
or a 2-3 week trip to the Baltics – Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania –
but loved it and kept extending my trip.
I’d never been to any of those countries and didn’t know anyone
that had been to any of them either. Imagine visiting a place
that wasn’t even a country when you were born. Fascinating!
From Tallin I took buses to Riga in Latvia and then to Vilnius in Lithuania.
It was so easy to get from city to city via bus (thanks Lux Express!).
The Baltics are so interesting, with impressive architecture
in each country.”

”I`m not traveling myself yet, but I am hosting people,
because it is a great way if you can`t go see the World,
you can have a similar experience by meeting and getting
to know interesting people from all over the world.”
