What we’re about
This is a friendly, informal group for anyone who enjoys life in Riga — locals, expats, students, long-timers, or those who’ve only just arrived.
We meet to share stories, swap tips, and just enjoy good company - and, first and foremost, simply to meet!
There’s no agenda, but we will help you break the ice. Come as you are, bring a friend, and (hopefully) leave with a few new ones.
✦ Mix of locals, expats, and newcomers

✦ A meetup event always on the first Friday of every month, so you never forget
