关于我

CURRENT MISSION

Make ever day an adventure! Meet amazing people. Work remotely to maximize travel. I'm always happy to meetup and explore new places. :)

ABOUT ME

I'm a life loving global citizen at heart. I thrive on connecting with people, the passion for things I do, and the thrill of travel. People say I have quite a bit of energy, it's probably from the coffee and running. Estonia is the place where I really woke up and found myself. I'll never forget my 6 years there. I lived two years in Miami and NYC before coming back to Europe.

During my 4 month stay in Budapest Hungary I became very interested in traveling and seeing the world. Summer 2010 I drove 12,000 miles all over North America! I spent two great summers in Washington, DC. Singing in the Estonian Song Festival was the most powerful experience of my life.

PHILOSOPHY

Go live life!

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Accidently going 300km on a 150km train ticket to a tiny town on the border of Hungary/Slovakia, hiking up a mountain to find a chairlift, arriving at our actual destination at midnight only to decided to sleep outside (in November!). It all ended with Eger Hungary's specialty, amazing wine!

My first time hosting... 8 people on 4th Of July DC Couchcrash, that was wild!

Swimming at night, completely naked, in 30C water, with thunderstorms everywhere lighting up the sky, in the lights of South Beach, with two surfers I met two hours before. (NB: please watch your stuff while doing this, thieves are everywhere around Ocean Drive)

教,学,和分享

I can definitely teach about anything working remotely, computers, music, cybersecurity, and tech startups. I can talk about my many experiences traveling, places I lived, and especially the USA. I can even teach you the Estonian language. :)
