I am a well-rounded and easy-going person. I am quite liberal and tolerant. I want to make the world a better place and I love to have passionate philosophical conversations with people.

In Estonia I am a teacher of history. Besides history I teach many other subjects - philosophy, ethics, religion and civics. I have a wife and a 5-year-old daughter.

At the moment I am doing an exchange program in Claremont, studying in Claremont university and teaching in Bonita high school until November the 1st. It's my first time visiting U.S. and I would like to see as much as possible :)

I will be visiting Las Vegas and Grand Canyon on 3.-5. October. I would like to meet some locals and I also need a place to stay .

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling. And the part I enjoy the most while travelling is is meeting new people. Couchsurfing is a convenient way to find locals. I have made many friends through couchsurfing and hope to do so in the future as well.

I have been a member of the couchsurfing community since 2007. I have used it quite a lot while travelling in Europe. I have also hosted some people when I was living in Greece.

Interests

I like traveling, different cultures and subcultures, history, religions- both eastern and western, philosophy, literature, movies, football, swimming, hiking and camping, chess etc.
