My parents have have been taking me traveling with them since i was a child- from them i got the travel addiction.

By now i have participated in three Erasmus youth exchange/training course projects (Tenerife, Cadiz and Italy) and traveled to many countries which all have given me something by making me a person who i am today.
To visit a foreign place means to see the place through local people's eyes, so i'm opened to experience what the place and people can offer to me!

I like to wander around a lot while getting lost on purpose and rather see new places than sleep the whole day at the beach doing nothing. I'm also into everything that associates with nature, sports, activities, animals, hiking, emotions, adventures, art, creativity, thinking outside the box and good company with good humor, that's why i studied recreation management- and i loved it!

In Estonia my life is never calm. Always something is going on, so at the moment i've been having a food critics blog with my 3 friends for 5 years already. It's called Näljane Nelik (The Hungry Four) - www.n4k.ee , where we encourage people to eat more outside and comment on different dishes at different restaurants (while visiting Estonia it can be quite helpful, so definitely check out the English version).

Since i'm into art, creativity, photography and handicrafting i have a facebook page "Marlenade" where i post my works: https://www.facebook.com/MarlenaDeCamera/?fref=ts .

Also you can find me on Instagram:

Always opened to spontaneous ideas and random activities!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-Had my first couchsurfing experience. Makes me believe in magic again.
-Work in Barcelona for 6 months as the first time staying abroad alone. Amazing. Everybody should do 1) Erasmus and 2) live abroad (alone)!

Teach, Learn, Share

-Always up to learn something. That's why i believe in LIFELONG LEARNING. And i'm loving the idea.
-Always up to teach something. I can teach some ice-breakers, teach how to think creatively, how to make macrame bracelets or how to mix songs on a DJ controller.

What I Can Share with Hosts

The basics of Estonian language, emotions, experiences from different parts of the world,contacts, knowledge and of course pictures taken together.
