Well, 4 and a half years ago, in the summer, we moved from capitalcity Riga to countryside 200 kilometers away.
Sometimes it seems, that we changed “everything good and fun” to “there is no pubs, cinemas, theatres, cafes or restaurants…boring!”. But no, I LOVE living in the countryside! WHY?
Local organic fresh food, garden and ochard, peace and quite, you can see the stars and wild animals, fresh air and no traffic, slower pace of life, simple.
AND Good for Raising Good Kids!

Children seem to blossom when given enough space. Your girls will be wonderful adults from learning to appreciate nature at it’s best.

How does she know what life is like in Riga? “The grass is always greener on the other side of the street!”

She wasa 2 when we moved here. We have a lot of pictures of everyday life in Riga. She loves them, maybe because she was alone at that point….

Ah, but maybe she just loves them because to her they seem like fantasy land, and that’s where every child wants to go – into a fantasy.

Latvia is pritty full of fields and forests and countryside. I was shocked when was in Germany, a lot of small villages. Here are house and other thechnical buildings alone without neighbors miles away. Called lauku viensēta.
