Latvia’s second largest city, Daugavpils, is located between the beautiful fields and forests of Latgale on the winding River Daugava in south-eastern Latvia.

Narva, the easternmost and third-largest city in Estonia, has always been surrounded by some mystical aura. One might think that it is here that the traces of different eras and powers are particularly strong. However, you might be surprised to find a destination for a romantic weekend instead.
St. Petersburg, the most northern million city in the world, is a meeting point between east and west, Russia and Europe. If you consider the latitude, it is just as far north as the southern end of Oslo, Alaska and Greenland.
There are people who love what they do and do what they love; without them, there would be less reliability, certainty and warmth in this world. The world itself would simply not be the way we know it now. Why?
