Liga Gulbe - Guide Riga Region & Latvia

English
Russian
Latvian


Tours:
Old Riga, Art Nouveau in Old Riga and in the Center, Pardaugava, Open-Air Museum, Sigulda, Turaida, Krimulda. Familiar with Jurmala, Cesis, Bauska, Mezotne, Rundale.

Approach: I believe a good tour guide knows how to show around the city so that tourists can remember the details vividly. Stories and legends about various buildings, places, and people always help to imagine the atmosphere of the particular times of history.

Experience: I have done various kinds of art work including painting, drawing, textiles, ceramics, sculpture, and photography. In high school I was taught History of Riga (it was for the first time that such a subject was taught in any of the high schools in late 1980s). My interest in art history and in history of Latvia has remained strong ever since. I have travelled throughout Europe, having been as far north as to Iceland, west – Portugal, south – Rome, but my interest in religion brought me to the United States where I studied for 4 years.

Presently, besides working as a tour guide, I also teach English at Luther’s Academy. I have worked as a teacher for 9 years and enjoy it as much as guiding because I love communicating with people and helping them to learn new things.

Education: University of Latvia, B. A. degree in English Philology. Spalding University (Louisville, KY), M. A. degree in Religious studies.

Hobbies, interests: art, photography, film, theater, literature, folk music.

Where & What are Baltic States?

Bordering on the Baltic Sea is a Ring of Countries referred to as The Baltic States.

They are not the Balkins ! - which are actually on the southeast of europe.

The Balic States are a vastly different series of breathtaking locations that can not be easily seen in a few days. So most likely, one will pick only a couple of the locations to visit at a single time.

That's OK, just come back several times and experience the wonderful character of each country. Either in or cooperating with the European Union, these countries are modern, welcoming and charming each in their own right.

Visit our family of Internet sites which provide a host of information and links about visiting the Baltic States.

If you operate a business, a hotel, travel service, a restaurant or you are a tour guide, we welcome your paid lisitng on one of our sites.
