About Me

I'm currently studying music and I teach singing and English to little kids. I live both in Estonia and Finland and try to travel as much as possible to see this beautiful planet we live on. I'm a sunny and a happy person and I enjoy meeting new people, to hear their stories and get to know their personality, so I could get inspiration from that to write some songs and grow as a person:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I joined CS in 2008 when I was travelling around in Italy and I loved to meet locals and see places tourist guide books never tell about. Later when living abroad and travelling around I´ve met so many people all around the world and I´m living the CS life outside the CS webpage, by hosting my friends and friends of friends, showing them my hometown, also visiting them alone and with my friends. I find CS and similar projects important for finding new friends, soulmates, or enemies, getting to know different cultures by meeting new people, but also showing your homecountry more as it actually is for people living there. A tourist eye never sees it as it actually is.

Interests

I play a lot of music, I teach singing and English through music, I read, write and travel a lot.
