About Me

I believe there is something to discover everywhere and in everyone!

I'm a student in the lovely university town Tartu in Estonia. My field is general lingustics and I love it! In my free time I like read or watch movies, I'm also a fan of long walks or biking around the city. Park benches make for great reading places. And well I won't say no to a beer (or a few) at the local pub. Whenever I have the chance I like to work in the garden and do other sort of manual labour, it's the best meditation :)
I also like to hike and camp and generally be in the nature, although it's difficult to find the time (and the appropriate weather here in Estonia).

I value my alone-time, but also love hanging out with my circle of friends. Other times, when I feel like it, I can hang out with strangers the entire evening and have a blast! I might not be the most extroverted person, but I actually like communicating with different people and generally like to believe in the kindness of people (a bit cliché, but I believe in the whole what-you-put-out-is-what-you-get-thing)!

I think one of the most important things is not to take yourself too seriously! And don't expect anything, but enjoy everything (again with the clichés, but hey, that's the truth!).
