48 Hours in Riga, Latvia// Europe Solo Travel Adventure

Whether you're a lover of architecture or a foodie, Riga has something for every traveler!

Come along with me as I explore Riga, Latvia in 48 hours! *filmed August 2019*

Riga is Latvia's capital and sits on the Baltic Sea. I will be the first to admit that Latvia was not high on my travel list, but after hearing it come up so often in travel groups, I had to visit to see what all the fuss was about. Although I only had 48 hours to explore Riga, it quickly became one of my favorite European cities!

While in Riga, I tried to squeeze in as much as possible. I spent a large portion of my time in Old Town Riga where I soaked up amazing panoramic views of Riga from St. Peter's Church, marveled at the architectural design of the House of the Blackheads, the Cat House, and the Three Brothers. Sampled delicious food at the Riga Central Market and LIDO. Added perk? The public transportation system is incredibly easy to navigate in Riga, and I never had to call an Uber the entire time I was there.

The Baltic States are quickly becoming my favourite stomping ground. Here's my first visit to Latvia

Join me on a pre-Christmas jaunt to The Baltic with a first time look at the fascinating city of Riga in Latvia. I'm only just learning about this part of the world and it's quickly becoming a favourite. There is a lot of unfinished business in the region for sure, but join me on these first few steps into a magical city I'm so glad to have FINALLY discovered.

This was a flying visit to Latvia, but stay tuned for a bit of a disaster in part two where my train journey doesn't quite go to plan...

THE GOPRO SAGA
A bit about the camera problems. I upgraded my GoPro, from an 8 to an 11, hoping to improve my content. Unfortunately on this, only my 2nd trip with the new camera, and for no reason at all (no settings changed) I got home to find a big chunk of my footage had no audio at all. A bit of research later and I see this is another GoPro problem, with some people losing more important footage than me. I really don't get how in 2023, GoPros can still be so damn unreliable. But I also don't get how difficult it is to find a decent alternative, and believe me, I've tried the competition as well. That being said, I still rate GoPro highly for the kind of discreet, easy filming that has shaped my channel to this point, and to be fair, they are replacing both the camera and the mediaMod. The only thing they can't seem to give me is any explanation why on earth this happened. And I know they know, but just aren't prepared to admit it! As I wait for a new GoPro11 to be delivered, I might be back to the comforts of my older edition for the next couple of videos, well, after part 2 of this Latvia trip anyway. I'll keep trying to improve my equipment and my skills, but boy would it be nice to have a camera I can rely on and trust. Right now, that's just not the case. If anyone out there can give me advice on which path to take, I'd be eternally grateful. It just feels annoying to invest hard-earned cash on a new camera, only for it to fail on its 2nd outing. And it sure made these edits a lot harder too! Thanks for reading my wee rant!!!

Riga Travel Vlog - 48 Hours In Latvia

After a successful wild camp in Gaujas national park, I decided it was time to go for some comfort and book a hostel and eat some good food. 3 people from my previous hostel in Tallinn were staying in the same hostel room as me in RIGA! So we did what naturally bonds people, and drank lots of beer.

Riga for just 48 hours

Riga, the capital of Latvia, is not only the crown jewel of Latvia, but also of the Baltics. Riga’s Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Riga has more than 600 000 inhabitants, making it the largest city in the Baltic States.

Riga is also known as an architectural jewel – a city where you can see churches from the city’s origins, medieval buildings in the Old Town, unique examples of Art Nouveau, as well as wooden architecture that has survived the centuries and modern architectural jewels.

First Time in Estonia | 48 Hours in Tallinn

Welcome to Tallinn everybody! This is our first ever experience of Estonia :)

It feels so good to finally be exploring Estonia - we got so close to seeing it this year with our trips to Russia and especially to Finland - so glad we could finally make it work.

We started our day at one of the most beautiful lookouts in Estonia, the Kohtuotsa lookout and the Patkuli viewing platform. From there we walked around the upper level of the walled city before making our way to ROST Bakery for some cinnamon scrolls and hot chocolates.

From there we went to the old town square to see the Christmas markets which are on till the middle of January if you want that European Christmas feel.

That evening we had a super unique medieval dinner at Olde Hansa with traditional meals and music.

The next morning we went to down below the Maiden’s Tower and Kiek in de Kök to get the best views of the city.

Weekend Trip to Riga

Is Riga, Latvia A Strange Place For Lithuanians To Visit?!

Have you heard of this phenomenon known as the uncanny valley? It’s this concept of having an unsettling feeling when androids closely resemble humans but are not quite convincingly realistic. After spending about 4 days in Riga, Latvia, it feels like it closely resembles Lithuania, but is seems like the city-form of the uncanny valley concept!

My First EVER Solo Trip

Join me as I venture back to one the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. Not only it’s beauty, but it’s significance in my own life is the reason why I returned to the Tatra mountain of Poland.

In this video I retrace my steps from my first ever solo trip, when I bought a one-way flight to Budapest, then aimlessly wandered over to Kraków and then to Zakopane.

From Zakopane, in June 2019, I found myself heading into the mountains on a beautiful summer day. This was my first ever hike, and first introduction to the world of travel.

Life since then has been a rollercoaster, and a conflicting experience.

I decided I wanted to travel back in time to Zakopane, to reflect on my life since the first time I was brave enough to explore the world on my own.

I hope you enjoy joining me on this special adventure.

It really is a stunning place, with magnificent architecture and colour. Some of the main sights I’ll be showing you are: The Three Brothers, the Freedom Monument, Riga Doms Cathedral, Riga Central Market and House of the Blackheads.

Unfortunately we only had 6/8 hours in Riga, so we didn’t have a great deal of time, but there is so much more to the city. We had to leave to get the coach along to Tallinn, the capital of Estonia.

So make sure you stay tuned for my next adventure to the dreamy, snowy Christmas fairytale city of Estonia.

RIGA Latvia | First Impressions

Our first day in Riga and we were most impressed with this interesting and varied city. We spend the day getting to know the old, medieval town and the city centre, visiting the major sights and getting a good feel for this laid back, understated place (The Art Nouveau district is definitely NOT understated but that is for the following video!)

Come with us on a walking tour around Riga and check out this amazing place to visit.

Some of the famous sights of Riga we visit are :- Riga Castle, Daugava River, The House of The Blackheads, The Powder Tower, The Cat House.

And as we often do, we finish the day by sampling a few of the excellent Latvian beers!
