About Me

Since I'm not quite standing on my own in life yet, currently I probably couldn't host, although I definitely will one day. I am used to meeting new people, am surrounded by multicultural society and I like the experience of it. I'm very tolerant and kind.

In my hometown Tallinn I study crossmedia. I also appreciate fine arts. My hobby is baking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Nothing gives more satisfaction than contacting with new people in real life. Screw online conversations.
Also for the stories. I like listening to traveling stories. And have some to share too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled to another end of Europe alone mid working week to escape routine.

Teach, Learn, Share

It's said that Estonian grammar is horribly confusing. It's true. But I was an A student at school, I can give you some lessons)

I am more interested in learning different traditions. Sometimes it creates awkward and funny situations. For example once I met two Brits in a bar. They finished their drink and then flipped their glasses over letting the ice cubes to fly all over the table. To my questioning gaze they answered with the more questioning ones, and with the words "It means that we're finished. Ain't they doing it here?"

What I Can Share with Hosts

Russian and Estonian recipes. I can cook the best Russian crepes for you =)
I'm the kind of person, with whom people like to spend evenings talking.
