About me

About me
I am currently a student of philology, loving the process of learning and discovering. When I'm not trying to fit working out into my schedule, I'm either reading books, playing video games, visiting new places in Riga with friends, or trying to pick up and refine a new skill. My drive and motivation stem from both a desire to better myself and from the knowledge that I had made an impact on someone else's life. Even now, many years later, those times when I was able to assist tourists trying to find their way around certain Riga spots were the time that filled me with joy.

Why Riga?
Riga is a city with a unique history on the banks of the River Daugava, being at the epicenter of the Northern Crusades. And, although I am a lover of history, my love affair with Riga started in my teen years, finally leaving the house and finding the sights of passing trams and stalwart houses hypnotizing. Now I find myself going on walks and looking through Google Maps just to see new and exciting ways to traverse the city streets, visiting new shops and eateries along the way.

My spots (20)

Kukotava

Kūkotava – Cakes Galore

Honey Cake is my pet peeve and their cranberry one felt like the best I've had in ages, not to mention the sleek atmosphere in which I could enjoy it.

MUNCH-Barbeque

MUNCH Barbeque – BBQ You Shouldn't Pass Up

One of the things I stand for it is the promotion of well-deserved culinary talent, and MUNCH BBQ certainly earns my seal of approval for fantastic food.

Labietis-Kulturkrogs

Labietis Kultūrkrogs – Can't have Riga without it

You'll find their brand spread far and wide across Latvian stores, but it is here, straight from the tap, where you'll get the most authentic experience.

LIDO-Kirsons-maja

LIDO Ķirsons māja – A Culinary Duplex

There are a lot of things to love about Ķirsons māja, from its stylish architecture to the convenience it provides. One of my favorite aspects of this location is, however, the LIDO burgers.

Vermanes-Park

Vērmanes Park – In the Heart of the City

And all of this thanks to Anna Vermane, who donated the park to the city for recreational use back in 1817 and whose monument you'll be able to find in the park's gardens

Kebab Factory – One of the Favorites

At the Kebab Factory the portions are massive, the food steamy hot, delicious, and the venue, albeit small, satisfyingly accommodating.
