How Latvia works as a nomad base
The nomad score leans hardest on affordability (45%) because cost is the lever remote workers feel monthly, then climate comfort (30%) and safety (25%). In Latvia, Liepāja leads at 62/100 — cost 39, climate 81, safety 79; warmest-month highs around 16.6°C and coldest-month lows near -2.5°C give you a feel for the seasons. Rēzekne is the pure-budget play at cost 42/100. Two practical factors sit outside the score — connectivity and visa/tax rules — so shortlist by these numbers, then verify internet quality and the current remote-work visa terms for Latvia before booking anything long-term.
