When moving to a new country, I had so many thoughts, expectations and questions racing through my mind! Read on to learn about some cultural (and climatic) observations I’ve noticed while in Latvia.
To get a glimpse into the daily life and background of a Latvian university student, I ran through some questions with a student also studying biology. Artūrs is a local, so he was a great source!
I don't know if I could've picked a more eventful 24 hours to blog! I hope to show what my daily life is like in Riga, in terms of research, community involvement and opportunities to travel!
