CURRENT MISSION

to live, learn and conquer

ABOUT ME

I'm a mom, a playschool teacher, a traveller.

People tend to say that I'm calm and relaxed. I've got a big heart. They say I'm absent minded, though I think that I'm the best planner in the world :) I'm organized and I usually don't lose things, but I forget a lot. I'm a dreamer, I dream my life away. Sometimes trying to fulfill a small % of my dreams, because one lifetime won't be enough to fulfill all I'm dreaming about.
I value experiences more than things.

Like most of the people on CS, I enjoy discovering new cultures and new people, I always need a location to go to..

I love learning new ideas and skills.

There are things I love doing in every season. In the autumn I like to got to the forest to gather some mushrooms. In the winter I like to ski, build a snowman, skate, sledge. In the spring I make thickened juice of rhubarb. In the summer I'm swimming in the sea or lake, picking blueberries and strawberries, riding a bicycle, tenting, boating, playing badminton etc

PHILOSOPHY

Kadri: I will.. ! (Don't under-estimate willpower..)

I like things simple.

My themesong: Pixies - Where is my mind?

J.R.R.Tolkien - The Hobbit - or there and back again;
Remarque - All Quiet In Western Front
+ some estonian writers.. Kivikas, Traat, Mälk..
+ Terry Prachett is good for entertainment.. and Harry Potter books aswell

As I try to be a "well educated literature person", there are many classics in my "to read list" aswell.

There are too many great books in the world.. and too little space here to name them all..

drank water from the river (Iceland), created life-form (Estonia), hitchhiked to Poland in november, snorkeled (Hawaii), driven a car in Ireland, ridden a bicycle in Paris.. etc
