"The people can be a bit sour, but considering their history, I can't blame them. That said, the country itself with its nature and scenery should be promoted more by their government because it's really special," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Riga, Latvia.
"Expats in Latvia appreciate the country's rich cultural heritage, which includes a variety of traditional music, art, and literature. They also enjoy the country's stunning natural beauty, with its forests, lakes, and rivers. Additionally, expats appreciate the friendly and welcoming attitude of the locals, who are always willing to help out and share their culture with newcomers. Finally, expats enjoy the vibrant nightlife and the variety of restaurants and cafes that offer a range of international cuisines," commented one expat who made the move to Latvia.
