Karosta (Previous Naval port of Liepaja) is a really unique and rare site not only for Latvia but also historically, architecturally and as an example of urban construction, worldwide. This is one of the most unusual sightseeing places in Latvia. One can like or dislike Karosta, but it won’t leave one cold.

All was perfect.
The house of family we exchanged with is beautifully located near the beach and the city. The garden is big with big trees and the house itself is spacious, clean and well equipped. The family left our house clean and tidy; just as we left it for them.
Everything was great. We got perfect directions and the best welcoming set forewer. House was wonderful, exactly as it is presented on intervac site. Hoss let a lot of maps and other information.
Martin and Anne are very nice and intelligent people, they have wonderful kids. Their flat is situated in the center of Munich at Englischer Garten and getting around is very easy. We shared the flat with Martins family, because we could do only non-simultaneous exchange. We spend some great evenings together.

We, Monta and Normunds, are 50 and 57 years old. We have 3 sons - 33, 18 and 11 year old. The oldest son is married and he lives separately.
We are working in tourism field. We are tour guides and tourism managers. We love our country and especially our town. We love to travel and we like to do it together with our family. We are also members of Couchsurfing project. We like to host people here in Liepaja and show them around and we also like to explore another countries by meeting local people.
We don't like big cities very much, we do prefer countryside, villages and small towns. Our hobbies are gardening, crafts and arts for Monta, Latvian wisdom and climbing mountains for Normunds. Unfortunately the highest mountain in Latvia is only 311 meter high.
We can do home exchange every time excluding June, July, August, because it is time when we work hard (it is the high tourism season in Liepaja) We are also interested in non-simultaneous exchange. If you want to come in summer, no problem. There will be house for you. We can stay at you place in Spring or Autumn. We already made more than 10 exchanges (also via another home-exchange sites) and we enjoyed it very much.
