About Me

I was born in Estonia, wich is a small but beautiful country in North-Europe.
But even though my family and most of my friends live there , I never really felt like home and it never exited me in a way I would like for a place, I call home, to effect me.
Once I started travelling more, I realized, that home can not be defined, I can find myself like home home in many situations, places or even relationships.
I am estonian, but also citizen of the world and I'm home when I travel ,explore different cuntries and learn about their culture and people.
I dont care so much about seeing the buildings than I care about seeing the local people and exploring the way they live their everyday lives and their values in life .
Currently I live in Sayulita

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We were on a trip in Mexico, Puerto Vallarta area, with my little sister, Sofia, who had just turned 6 years old , my mom, a friend and our friend who was living in Mexico back then.
One morning we woke up and realized that something was wrong with Sofia, her face and body were as hot as she was on fire. She had a very high fewer and in two hours she couldn't even speak or stand up. We tried everything to get her temperature down, but nothing helped.
We had to make a desicion what to do with the situation. There was a doctors officce in town but none of us really trusts traditional medicine. The ohter option was just to stay at home with her and let her rest, but even that didn't feel right...
Our friend told us about a Mexican healing lady who lives 1,5 hour drive away from where we stayed , little outside of a small surf village on the mountin. This information was all we needed, so we dressed up Sofia, took a cold towel for her forhead and we were ready to go.
It was a grazy trip through desert heat with small local busses, full of people and a surf van trip up to the mountin . During the all trip we were carring Sofia on our hands, holding a wet towel on her head, that seemed to help a little.
Once we arrived to Sol Ibarras amazing hidden palace, the lady made a special drink for Sofia, gave her magnet therapy and in 2 hours Sofia was swimming with us in a salt water pool and having fun like nothing had ever happened.
After all that Sol cooked us a healty delicious lunch and we were all so thankful to her.
Amazing things can happen when we just trust the nature:)
