Jarrod – Sydney, Australia.
Another globe trotting Aussie that has settled in a foreign land after leaving OZ in 2005. After extended travels in Sth America I headed to Europe using London as a base working in the graphic design and advertising industry. I continued to travel throughout Europe until I hit Riga, met a Latvian girl and finally got into the Riga hostel business. Already two years in Latvia now and who knows what the future holds for me.

I first came to Riga in 2004 and kept returning for a lovely local girl named Gunita. Im one of the owners of the hostel but live in Australia 6 months of the year working on Rigs as an Contract Engineer. I enjoy the odd Bundy Rum and you cant go past a juicy steak… if you want a good steak in Riga Im the man to ask for advice!
