Overview
About Me
I am a girl from Estonia who enjoys seeing new places and experiencing new things. I want to travel the world, but I am also keen on finding a career path, which would be fulfilling and that would help me save the world just a little.
After school I did a Work and Travel year in Australia, then my Bachelors in Estonia, after which I went to Germany to work at the German parliament, well and now I am finishing my Master's degree at Universities in Berlin and an exchange year in Taiwan at NTU.
PHILOSOPHY
Fear is the thief of dreams.
Smile and the world smiles with you.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I have had nice couchsurfing experiences both as a surfer as well as a host. I love to meet new people, especially if I don't know almost anything about their countries, cultures etc. There is so much to learn from each other.
Interests
I love to do sports. I have been doing all kinds of different sports since my childhood - dancing, volleyball, judo, sailing, Ultimate Frisbee, Lacrosse, baseball, fokldance, football, badminton.
I also love to sing. I have been singing in different choirs since I was in the 3rd grade and am right now in the European Estonian Choir.
Also I love to play boardgames, read books, organise events, cook and dine out (I am much better at eating than preparing food myself :P).
And of course I love to travel. See new places, meet new people. I love to discover the alternative sides of cities, hidden places, places where the masses of tourists would not go to.
