  Description

  Hi! We are a small family. Mother with 2 children - Marija and Roberts, both are teenagers. We have two small dogs - Yorkshire terriers - Mozart and Leila. We like to meet open-minded people and get to know a different culture and outlook on life. We are 10 minutes away from the old town of Riga. We love to travel but can't take dogs with us so dog sitting is required. Also, even if we are on the spot, we would like to consider receiving guests, because we would like to introduce you to Latvia and Riga. Also, this is an opportunity to practice language skills.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We would like to introduce you to Latvia and its capital Riga. We live in Riga, 10 minutes from the old town. Although we are in the center of Riga, the district where we live - Ågenskalns - is quiet, very green in the summer and with old, beautiful wooden houses. We have a car and would be happy to take you and show you other cities or parks in Latvia.

  Accommodation

  We live in a small apartment, but for the duration of the volunteer's stay, we will release one bedroom, which has all the necessary furnishings. If you will be looking after the dogs, you will stay alone in the apartment. We have two rooms, a kitchen and a bathroom.
  We will be happy to introuduce you to Latvian dishes. But if you will look after the dogs while we are away, you can use the kitchen for your needs. There are various shops about 5 minutes from the house, so food is easily available.
