Overview
About Me
What describes me the most as a human being is probably my devotion towards culture in different perspectives. I just graduated art history & semiotics and have worked for different film festivals across Europe. Prior to Covid I lived in Berlin for some time and worked at an art gallery.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Because you already know something about the person you're about to meet, making the possibility to find great people more likely. It's grown boring to google for recommendations when you travel, I'd rather have a friend or a person nearby to share their opinionated vision about their home. I'm particularly interested in witnessing good performative theatres in Europe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Survived
Teach, Learn, Share
art history, literature, philosophy, cultural perspectives, movies
Similar to many people here, I do like to experience the city through a locals eye. I'd much rather watch tourist attractions from afar and invest my money in supporting local theatres, art and music.
That's what I'd show someone I'm hosting.
I can share with you my being. Meaning that my being is the most sincere thing I can offer including my knowledge, perspective and vision. That is also what I look for in people I meet here or in the world generally.
Knowledge is the greatest power given to us in my opinion because compared to most of the things in this world it doesn't have a computable beginning nor an end.
What I Can Share with Hosts
My holy presence should be enough
(joke)
I will probably bring you something from my country. Talk about Estonia - naturally there's only only few of us so meeting one is a rarity I guess. Also if you want to chill and grab a beer I'd be happy to, if not, I can just be quiet and not bother you.
"kirjuta, et sa oskad süüa teha"- me asking advice from my friends.
