My name is Kristine and I am certified guide in Riga. I work in French and English languages. I graduated Latvian Academy of Culture where I studied \"Cultural relations between Latvia and France\", there I learned the history of art, world history and French language.
To get much deeper knowledge I also took courses to become a tour guide in Riga. My passions are learning new languages, other countries\' culture, architecture, traditions and history.
Daily I work with clients from France, Switzerland, Belgium, Luxembourg and others giving them a possibility to have a friendly walk through the streets of the Old Town, the famous Art Nouveau district and Riga Central Market.
I think that the impression of the city where we live is made by ourselves.So it\'s important not only to describe the history or different facts but also \"translate\" our culture, our view to the life and explain why it is just like that and not otherwise. My obtained knowledge and experience let me to do it and people are satisfied. I have a good relationship which developed with many clients that I still maintain.
OTHER LANGUAGES: Latvian
