About Me

CURRENT MISSION

live the dream

ABOUT ME

I was born in a beautiful country called Estonia, currently live in the UK. I studied conflict resolution and peace studies for 3 years, looked at worldview development in the light of current global issues, how we form assumptions and beliefs etc. Now working on innovation in education and governance, organizational learning, capacity building, designing learning spaces, social change, sustainable development...

I like being outdoors or doing something creative like painting or cooking. I love the mountains as well as the sea/ocean, lakes and rivers. Sports that I never get tired of: figure skating and skiing in the winter, canoeing, swimming and biking in the summer.. Bliss! And dancing your heart out!

Family and friends mean a lot.

PHILOSOPHY

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted some amazing surfers and so far the experience has been great!

Interests

I have so many... I think I am generally curious, like to explore and experiment. Art, photography, music, 'green design', religions and why people believe what they believe, global governance, IR, sustainable development, conflict resolution, organizational capacity building, collaboration, education, community projects, youth camps, hiking, canoeing, skiing, skating, snowboarding etc. There is so much to experience and see in this life - like remember when you were a child and when it rained it was just so awesome to jump into the puddles? Where does this fascination go when we "grow up"?
