I am a University student from Estonia, majoring in International Relations & Regional Studies. Growing up in a little village in the North of Estonia definitely had its advantages - it made me notice all the little things around us, colors, sounds, and overall the beauty of nature. So my childhood was an amazing adventure full of discovery. But at some point we grow up, and our backyard, as beautiful as it is, isn't enough anymore. We want to broaden our horizons, quite literally, I mean. Travelling and meeting new people is the perfect way to do that.

I believe that initially we travel, to lose ourselves; and we travel, next to find ourselves. We travel to open our hearts and eyes and souls, to learn more about ourselves and the world around us. We travel to see and feel. And we travel, in essence, to stay young fools in our hearts - to slow time down and get taken in.

I have already been lucky enough to see a few places around the world and I have met some amazing people, and I am eager to continue my journey.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To share and learn.
CS is a great social platform to discover local cultures, meet different people, who still share certain common values.
