About Me

I would call myself a gypsy, I look like one and I act like one. I’m a Free spirit, wild natured, and a crazy world traveler. I grew up in a small town and always wanted to get out, always felt that I needed to go and explore the world. I started travelling in 2006 and since then haven’t been able to stop, I got addicted to it. I grew up in Estonia, but have no Estonian blood. I do have some Ukrainian blood, some oriental blood, a little bit of Russian blood, and even some gypsy blood. So it's quite a mix. A real gypsy.

I love foreign languages and different cultures, and love meeting new people.
As I mentioned earlier, I started traveling in 2006, but more intensely since 2009, where I've lived in different countries, and participated in different dance projects. So I would say I’m a crazy dancer, who is living her dreams, trying to find her place in the world, believing in people, believing in the kindness of strangers and in freedom of the open road, believing that everything happens for a reason, as does meeting people and believing that nothing is accidental, ever ....

In fact, I’ve met so many amazing people on the open road so to speak, in places where you would least expect it and some of my greatest friends I've met in such funny and unusual circumstances that you wouldn't believe me at first if I told you.

So you should always remember one thing life has taught me: Don't turn your back to what you think you know, because you never know. Also the world is reflecting what you have inside even though the world is a crazy and dangerous place, there is still so much beauty and so much good among the bad, it's all about what you're bringing to the world and how you look at things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a world traveller, who's travelling a lot. I'm interested in different languages and cultures and always for meeting new interesting people.
