About Me

I am a master's student in biomedicine, who also loves all things creative, food, nature and some good music.
I'm constantly inspired by other people and how amazing they are. There's always something new to learn.
I love art and creating, especially watercolor painting. I can bake some mean good cakes. I think I could easily eat my weight in gelato (at least I'd happily try it). Love dancing to Madonna all night long. Love going to symphonies and concerts. I'd wish to own a goat, so I love petting goats. Also watching ducks in parks is fun. And always hoping for some cool spontaneous adventures.
If I could choose to be anything in the world, I'd wish I could be a professional cello player in a symphony orchestra.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just spent my spring semester doing Erasmus exchange in Lisbon, which honestly is the best thing I've ever done! As my time here is over, instead of buying a simple plane ticket back home, I decided to travel and backpack back to Estonia through Europe. Hoping to spend some amazing time, meet new people, get to know the locals and new cultures. Spread some Estonia love around the world, so more people could know more about that amazing small country!

Music, Movies, and Books

It's always a hard question, as I don't really have a favourite in any. Depends totally on my current mood. But my last read was Rupi Kaur's "Milk and Honey" and I love her poetry. New discovery in music are Ruth B and Billie Eilish. The last thing I watched on Netflix was "Knock down the house", which honestly is so good and inspiring.

My favorite fairytale is Alice in Wonderland. Some of my all time favourite books include Franz Kafka's "Trial", Jane Austen "Pride and Prejudice", Paulo Coelho "The Alchemist" and of course the Harry Potter series.
I actually listen to all kind of music, as my taste in it goes from Kanye West and Childish Gambino to classics like Brahms and Tchaikovsky, from Madonna and Ed Sheeran to Queen and Estonian folk music. I challenge everyone to introduce something cool and new to me!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My whole Erasmus exchange semester

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach how to watercolour paint (I'm not actually very good, but I promise you can make yourself a nice postcard to send for your friends); some funny words in Estonian if you like.
I'd like to learn anything new and maybe how to cook a local dish?
I can share my nice cake recipes or make you one and share a slice.

What I Can Share with Hosts

With you I can share some watercolor painting love, travelling stories, Estonian must see music artists, some funny Estonian words of course, laughter and joy.
