About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Just curious to get to know people of different nationalities :)

ABOUT ME

I am a 55-year-old woman. I am divorced and I have 2 grown-up children who live on their own. So I live alone in a 3-room apartment. I am very socialble and I really enjoy communicating with people. It's so exciting to talk to people of different nationalities and get to know about their culture and way of life.
I love travelling. As I used to be the coordinator of a Comenius project of our school, I had an opportunity to travel a lot during the past 2 years. Unfortunately this project is over now, so I think now I would have the chance to sart travelling on my own. As I am a teacher I have a lot of free time in summer, so I would like to make the most of it. As the teachers' salary is not so high in our country I can't afford spending so much money on staying at hotels. My daughter, who also travels a lot, recommended me to join Couchsurfing. So I did.

PHILOSOPHY

Always look on the bright side of life (Monty Python)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am ready to be a host to surfers mainly in the summertime when I am on holiday and having enough free time. In autumn, winter and spring not so much ready because I am very busy on workdays. But I might be still available at the weekends, depends.
I can show you around in Pärnu and recommend good places to eat and visit, (especially for solo travellers I am willing to offer my company if they want). I still expect the couples to be more independent and manage on their own :)
I can cook for couchsurfers and I certainly offer breakfast. And surfers can cook in my kitchen as well if they like. If you are interested in Estonian national food and want me to cook some for you, I am willing to do it. But in that case it would be nice if you took me out for lunch or dinner or to have a drink in return or at least buy the ingredients. Many surfers have cooked for me which has really been nice. And we can all cook togehter. In that case it is like a social event- we prepare dinner and at the same time we can have a chat. I really enjoy that kind of activity.
