I am an artist/researcher, currently based in the Netherlands, and still visiting Estonia in summer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Last year I couchsurfed once again over a very long period of time, and just remembered how beautiful it is to meet people you've never met before, but with whom you immediately have a connection. I am also inspired by the homes of different people and how they reflect something essential of the person living there.

Interests

I have always been a bookworm, I love to read.
I enjoy music, especially when my composer/musician friends drag me to something bizarre.
I am totally in love with travelling, still thinking how to make a living out of that. So far, being an artist and doing residencies has also given me the possibilities to dive into new cultures and environments.

Music, Movies, and Books

Björk has been a big thing in my life amongst many others.
Books by Hesse, Borges, Brautigan, Remarque, Vonnegut.
Currently I am reading about stones and geologic matter, at the very moment "Stone: An Ecology of the Inhuman" by Jeffrey Jerome Cohen.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiked through Europe without almost no budget (I had a tent, but lost it on the first day) and met the most miraculous people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am always up to teach some Estonian - there is only a bit more than a million of us who speak this obscure, yet beautiful language.
