About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Meeting the people who would shape my life.
ABOUT ME
I'm a social and (hopefully) humorous young man from Tallinn, Estonia (originally from a tiny borough named Kolga).
I'm an active person, mostly in educational and musical field. I've worked as a chemistry teacher for two years (while studying at Tallinn Uni. of Technology), but since my bachelor's degree is in IT, I've mostly been working in the IT field: first as a developer at the Centre for Education of Tallinn University and then (& currently) as a systems analyst in Net Group.
But above all I consider myself a music lover: blues, rock, funk and soul is what I listen to most of the time. Also a lot of orchestral pieces from movie soundtracks.
I've been playing different instruments for as long as I can remember. Currently I'm playing drums in a small town band.
Unfortunately I'm currently living in a not-so-roomy place, which is why I can't offer any couches. But hopefully I'll have a bigger place when I finish my studies in Sweden and move back to Tallinn, Estonia. Until then, I might try to be on the surfing side. :)
