Overview

Welcome — Latvia is an elegant, small, and surprisingly modern base for a Canadian digital nomad seeking a softer, slower-paced life in Europe. Think walkable Old Town streets, fast fiber internet, affordable cafés, and four distinct seasons with leafy summers and crisp, snowy winters. Riga (the capital) offers the most international services and community, while smaller cities and coastal towns give you more space and calm.

This guide focuses on practical steps for Canadians — especially Black women building a “soft life abroad” — so you can plan logistics, find community, protect your finances, and enjoy day-to-day life with confidence.
