CURRENT MISSION

Build a tinyhouse and travel to Patagonia. And have fun in between!

ABOUT ME

Incurable CouchSurfer! I can't help it that I love people. But I prefer to sit in a cozy spot and have nice long discussions (with tea or beer) rather than running around as a tourist guide. But I do like to walk and show the real local experiences :)

Anyway first I studied to be a media and advertisement artist. Then I worked and traveled around in Europe and discovered the beautiful diversity of inspiring and complementary cultures around us. That brought me back to university to dig deeper into cultural and visual anthropology and now I was doing both - applied anthropolgy and graphic design. But currently enjoying the maternal leave and spend my days with the little boy.

We live in a cosy wooden house in Supilinn with our little nine month old son and my boyfriend, who use to run the local art house cinema (best cinema in Estonia!) and doing cinema software startup now.

PHILOSOPHY

In my life I follow the principles - respect the nature, honor the wise-men, trust your heart blindly, believe in people, know the roots, ask more questions, don't complain (without reason), really see the life and be here(in the moment)!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted people, surfed around, showed around, taken part in bigger events and local weekly meetings.. is there any other option that I haven't tried yet? :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sailed around with the Viking boat!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach:
*Estonian,
*orienteering,
*animating,
*some local urban legends
*how to cook a good meal, when you don't have almost anything in the fridge,
*some Estonian jokes..
*how to survive in Estonia

If you know anything interesting that I don't know - I want to learn it! :)
And on the other hand I can share all my experiences and knowledge that you find interesting.

I believe that we are all destined to meet, to teach something to each-other in this life.
