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.
