Free internet is available in public and university libraries. Also almost all of Latvian cities and even villages will have free internet in the town's center - it is now a prestige thing.
There exist Facebook groups for ridesharing where you can often get a ride from Riga to other parts of Latvia for little money.. Group names are in form of "Riga - (city/town name) - Riga". Use Facebook searchto find them. For example , for Liepaja direction use https://www.facebook.com/groups/840988475937147/ This is These groups are mostly used by young people and they are very likely to speak good English. http://www.blablacar.com is also popular.When you hitchhike, draw a Latvian flag (red-white-red) on your hitchhiking sign in addition of city's name. It will show your loyalty and interest in country and people will be more likely to stop.
Weather in Latvia can change pretty fast so don't lose hope if rain comes. Hide and wait. Sometimes it's over in 15-20 minutes.

''Summer 2018 & 2022: Good and easy hitchhiking experience. You rarely wait a long time and you have a big chance to pass by Latvia, or get into the capital by one or two cars. I did nearly 200km in one drive with a guy going from Lithuania to Riga. Afterwards took A3 to Tartu (est). Because there are a lot of people going directly to Tallinn from Riga you have a good chances make all that trip in one car. I was going to Tartu, so it was harder but anyway I was there in the same day. The majority of drivers spoke English.'' --
