  • Last few days in Baltic Countries and what we are going to miss are the idyllic shops, stone houses, eclectic decor, medieval architecture, dense forests, roadside lakes, turquoise blue Baltic Sea, crystal white sand dunes and most importantly its people. In this trip, we met all kinds of people. Latvians, Livonians, Estonians, Polish, Finnish, Russians, Germans and many others. They spoke all kinds of languages but English. To be honest, earlier we were apprehensive about this trip as we knew about the language issues here and whatever preconceived notions there are about Eastern Europe. But all that is myth. Baltic people are extremely warm & straight forward. And we are saying this not on the basis of a small visit/vacation. We have literally lived here for a month, among them, in their houses. One thing we learnt on this trip is what brings us humans together is not our ability to communicate but our WILLINGNESS to do so. Yes, we communicated with everything that was available, Google Translate, pictures, maps, writing, signs, expressions, and even our hands. If even that was not enough, a smile and a hug served the purpose. But we managed. We were welcomed and received well by these wonderful people. And would like to do same for them whenever they are in our country. We will cherish this experience and exchange for life. #Romads #RomadsInLatvia #RomadsInLithuania #RomadsInEstonia . . #latvia #lithuania #estonia #baltics #balticcountries #balticroadtrip #roadtrippers #digitalnomads #indiantravelbloggers #indiantravelcouple #globecouples #travelcouplelife #travelcoupleinspiration #travelcouple #travelcouplebloggers #lovearoundtheworld #travelrealizations #roamtheplanet #worltraveler #coupletravel #coupletravelling #coupletraveldiary #coupletraveling #coupletravellers #travelislife #instatravel

  • ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The first time I saw the sea & desert meeting each other was in a Bollywood song 10 years back. Since then, I have been excited about being at such a place in real. Then I came to know about Namibia, and have been dreaming about visiting that place since long. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But while researching, before starting our Baltic roadtrip, we stumbled upon this location while browsing through Google maps, and realized that there is a similar landscape in the Baltic Sea as well where the sea and dunes greet each other. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There was no way I was going to miss this location. Though we were running out of time, also were lost and couldn't trace how to take our car or even walk to this place, we decided to find this location at any cost (even at the cost of fighting with each other 😬🤦). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And here we are, finally, after trailing randomly, walking for more than an hour, through a jungle, full of weird insects & mosquitoes, and a scorching heat (yes this year Baltic countries are experiencing their worst summer in last half century with temperatures rising even above 30 degrees at times). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So, let's take a moment for this to sink in and enjoy this beautiful dream. For we truly are 'Romads' today. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #Romads #RomadsInLithuania ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #sanddunes #balticsea #balticsea🌊 #nidabeach #seaanddunes #discoverearth #discover_earthpix #ourplanet #awesome_earth #awesomeplacestovisit #exploringtheworld #worldtravelbook #earthpix #earthofficial #roamtheplanet #travelcouple #travelcoupleinspiration #travelcouplelife #travelcouplelife #couplegoals #hiddengems #balticroadtrip #lithuania100 #lithuania #indiantravelbloggers #indiantravelcouple #coupletravel #coupletravelingtheworld

  • ❤ A tryst with Art Nouveau Architecture of Riga ❤ As I mentioned in my earlier post, that I am going to dedicate an entire day to immerse myself in the Art Nouveau Architecture of Riga, and that's exactly what I did today. It was such a pleasure to walk through the Alberta Street & look at the buildings of Mikhail Eisentein. And then the visit to the Art Nouveau Museum is something I will remember for life. It was almost like time travelling to the early 20th century and getting a chance to peep into, what their world must be like. ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have a thing for stuff that is vintage, antique or belongs to past. I kind of dream & dwell in past. And this museum surely did suffice my apetite for past. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ After my visit to the Livraria Lello in Porto this march, it was this experience that elated me the most. Today was my day. My Friyay!!!!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #Romads #RomadsInLatvia . . . #artnouveaustyle #artnouveau #artnouveaumuseum #albertastreet #rigacity #rigailoveyou #rigaoldtown #architecture_hunter #architectures #artnouveauarchitecture #mikhaileisenstein #artmuseum #hats #vintagehats #pleatedskirt #artnouveaufashion #travelfashion #travelfashionista #travelfashiongirl #livingadream #antique #vintage #vintageclothing #womenwhotravel #womenwhoexplore #damestravel #femmetravel #travelgirlstyle
