About Me

Have done different things, worked as an apple-box stacker, IT-teacher, construction worker, spent 6 months travelling in New Zealand, 9 months in Australia, worked in 6 countries, served in the Estonian Navy...

And besides all that, I still feel like living a pretty "normal" life - working in an office, payint the mortgage etc.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies should be thought-provoking, occasionally funny. Same goes for books, those must also be well-written. Music depends on mood and situation - there are a few genres which I dislike but overall it goes from gangsta rap to some pretty slow stuff.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling in New Zealand, a memory for the lifetime. Some longer hitchhiking trips, also travelling around Estonia, which still has surprises for me. Lately I have kind of enjoyed doing some more difficult stuff (100km canoeing-marathon, 200km one-day bike trip...).
