About Me

Student - living and studying in Tallinn, Estonia.

I wear many hats: Active Listener, Debater, Nerd, Couch Potato, Mild Party Person, Camper, Workawayer, Cook.

But around new people, I am usually a quiet shy guy. I try not to get into people's hair.

I can talk about a lot of different topics, but I take time to get talking. Hope that isn't a downer. :)

For Hosts - I volunteer happily to help with your daily chores. I don't mind getting my hands dirty, working outdoors, and helping out local hosts with anything within my capacity to do - be it gardening, cooking, pet care, or home care.

For Guests - I will be updating my hosting availability as soon as I have a place of my own in Estonia. At the moment I live in University Dormitory.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been moving around a fair bit since 2016, and I try to at least spend 2 months in a year on the road.
And so far, I have been lucky to be hosted by friends from real life or living in hostels, or other short term rental accommodations.

But now that I am in Europe - a new part of the world for me, it is time to make new friends and experiences, I feel.

So in short, like many others here, meet new people and experience the world through many eyes!

Music, Movies, and Books

I haven't read many books, but I've watched my fair share of movies and TV shows.
And when it comes to music, I'm exploring every flavour and every style!

Although I am in the phase of ethnic world music, trip hop, lo-fi, psychill, chillggressive, and trance, I would like to think I'm not limited to just these. I began my music exploration from Hip Hop and RnB, and through the years I have been through many different phases - from Reggae, to Rock, Metal (very briefly), Jazz, Blues, Rock n' Roll, Country, Classical, Indie, Pop, Trap, you name it.

Current Favourite Artists - Clozee, Hugo Kant, Bonobo, Sixfingerz.
Evergreen Favourite Artists - Bob Dylan, The Doors, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, and that period music, in general!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It has gotta be one of these two -
A) Built a Board Game.
B) Briefly ran a Cafe and a BnB inspired by my own backpacking experiences.
C) Caught goats.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to show you some easy vegetarian cooking techniques (but I eat meat too). Explore some fusion culinary techniques as well!

I also would love to learn about your favourites artists, DJs, festivals, and bands! Also any cool recipes you would like to share.

Having explored many cuisines and genres of music, when it comes to food or music, my senses are unbiased and keen to explore new experiences.

I love to see the passion in people for just about anything - coffee, wine, cheese, music, baking, painting, sculpting, poetry, science, jamming, animal care, waste management, technology, agriculture, social issues, basically just about anything!

The only two things I don't really understand all that well are technology and sports. :P

What I Can Share with Hosts

My friends tell me that I'm an amazing listener. And I think that's something worth offering. Otherwise, tips, music exchange, activities within the city or on a weekend!

I can even cook, or help out in daily chores. :)
