About Me

Every time I attempt to fill this field I'm basically hit with an existential crisis. So in order to actually finish updating my profile this time (instead of staring at the ceiling and pondering over the purpose of my existence and how to define myself), I'm just gonna promise you that I'm actually a lot better at talking about myself in person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I can't even put into words how many amazing experiences I have had thanks to couchsurfing, I've met so many wonderful people, several of whom have become close friends of mine, and had so many adventures that just could not have happened without couchsurfing. It has completely changed the experience of travelling for me. I'm happy to finally be able to host people myself, so I'll try to do that as much as my slightly erratic work schedule allows me to.

Interests

Well, obviously I love travelling, as probably everyone here. I'm curious about everything to do with different cultures.

I've studied human rights law and specialise in refugee law at my current job, so I'm professionally fascinated by these topics.

I've always found psychology and philosophy very interesting, but more in a way that I'd be happy to learn about those topics from someone who actually knows something about them.

Of course, I can't go a day without music. I've dabbled at playing different instruments, but tragically never really displayed any considerable talent at any of them.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm so bad at picking favourites, it just would not be fair for the ones left out!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have hitchhiked around Europe several times, either with friends or on my own, I'd call each one of those trips an amazing adventure.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a few words the tongue-twisting language of Estonian, and maybe a few simple songs on the piano (or well, the tiny keyboard I own). I can't really think of any other special teachable talents that I'd be blessed with... But I would be happy to learn absolutely everything.
