Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There isn´t a better way to travel than by couchsurfing. I like the couchsurfing spirit of international interactions.
I love to meet new people and get to know different cities through the eyes of locals. I have made so many new friends just thanks to couchsurfing, who I still keep in touch with.

I try to introduce everyone Estonia since a lot of people haven´t heard about this amazing country. I have been "a first estonian they have met" for so many people, so I try to teach them about our culture and people as much as possible. If I have a chance I keep some estonian candy always with me for all my new friends to try, because we have some pretty good chocolate and candy here.

Interests

I have been dancing since a little kid in different dance groups. I have been a backdancer for many artists and for the past 4 years I have been a cheerleader and a professional dancer.
Currently my main interest goes to art, photography and vidoegraphy. Trying to go to college to study media art.
I absolutely love adventures and spontaneous ideas. Call me 3 am and let´s go watch a sunrise together..
And just like everyone else I´m all about the good food as well. Although I´m probably more passionate about good coffee and wine than food.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to all kind of music but lately I have been finding myself listening to a lot of rap.

I officially don´t have favourite movie but there´s a lot of movies that I like for example "Arrival"

Hands down my favourite book I have read lately is "Grit. The power of passion and perservance" by Angela Duckworth and I absolutely love "Illustration next" by Ana Benaroya as well. It´s just so breathtaking and interviews with artists is just like a cherry on top.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Favourite highlights of few years have been jumping to the lake from three story house, visiting an old ghostly prison 3am in Portugal, surviving a wake up call by the wild boar after a nightmare in the middle of the forest..and let´s talk about the other things in real life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach everything about estonia and it´s culture.

I would love to learn about you and your culture.

Let´s share laughs, good times, food and drink.
