Coming to Riga
I am coming to Riga very soon and do not know anyone. Can someone suggest a place to live, not expensive, in or near, the city center?
It would also be very comforting to have someone who speaks English and knows the city to fill me in and also wants someone to hang out with.

It is quite impossible to exaggerate the joy and relief it was to read your letter. As one might expect, I was embarking on this expedition with a bit of apprehension. Not much fun to think of arriving in a new country knowing nothing and nobody.聽 To hear that there is a "club of old rogues" brings a great smile to my face. I am 68, a retired American lawyer, and very recently divorced after 20 years. I am not pining away, and more than ready to rebuild.. The love was lost 6 years ago when she did the dirty.
I will certainly follow your lead and advice on quarters. As you may know, the American pension is pittance.
Have raised chickens myself. Loved it, especially the brooding part. Really miss it.
I guess that is enough for now. I hope we can continue.
All the best,
Lew
Hello!
My name is Reggae and I have your business card. I'm an American expat living here in Riga and want to know about getting residencey here. I can't remember when or if you gave me your business card, but, I have it. The number no longer works, Can you help me?
I stayed in Riga for 2 years. For affordable accommodation near the city center, you might want to check out hostels or budget hotels like Cinnamon Sally or Naughty Squirrel.
They鈥檙e reasonably priced and have a friendly vibe.Even though I don鈥檛 live in Riga now, I visit often for work and fun. Currently, I stay in Liep膩ja because it鈥檚 quieter and has beautiful coastal views.
It鈥檚 only a 3-hour trip, so I recommend taking the autobuss R墨ga Liep膩ja if you want a quick getaway from the city.In Riga, you鈥檒l find plenty of people who speak English, especially in the touristy areas. Maybe join some local Facebook groups or expat forums to connect with others.
