COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The couple of times I have surfed have been great, I have been very fortunate with the hosts, and I'd really love to host someone myself, but since Jõgeva is not a very exciting town (though I love it :)), I haven't had many requests (or have not had the possibility to host at that particular moment), I'm hoping to find a place in Tartu in the autumn where it would also be possible to host!

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

Roadtripping with my two best friends to a small town in Estonia, where the most amazingly chill music festival took place. Good company and good music is always pretty awesome.

Lying on a blanket in my garden at night in August when the skies are clear and the stars are falling like mad - done it more than once, amazing every time.

Insegna, impara, condividi

Since I consider myself a patriot of my lovely country, I can tell you all about Estonia and Estonian (I sometimes fear I annoy people with it). But I am equally interested in your country, your culture, your language(s), whatever it is you are fascinated with. I just love it when people are fascinated about something, the little light that sparkles in their eyes when they talk about it makes it truly interesting for me as well, that is guaranteed!
