Hello, world! I am a geographer from Estonia.
During my Erasmus studies in Prague I discovered the excitement of traveling and now I don't want to stop!

I have finished my Master studies in Tartu and currently am working as a project manager. In addition to that I am involved in 4 different non-governmental organizations (in education, sports and health) which take up majority of my free time.

I love being active, meeting new people, taking up new challenges, experiencing new countries and collecting memories instead of things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people, visit exciting places.
Trying couchsurfing is getting out of my comfort zone but I feel that in this community everyone is a friend you haven't met yet!

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't really have any particular preferences regarding music :) If it is catchy, melodic and enjoyable, then I am happy!
Books: "A thousand splendid suns", "My Friend Leonard", "Love in Lowercase", "Orange girl", "The collector", "1984", "Animal farm".
Movies: "Shawshank redemption", "Into the wild", a great Estonian-Georgian movie "Tangerines", "Green Book", "Bohemian Rhapsody".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Met a person with exactly the same name as me when donating blood.
- Being nationally recognized as a promoter of science in Estonia.
- Adopting 2 cats from a shelter home.
- Walking 30 kilometers alone in some shady areas in Boston without even knowing the high rates of crime there.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a good card trick (don't set your expectations up too high) 😀
There are not many Estonians in the world (around 1.3 million!) so it would be exclusive to know something from the Estonian language :)
I gain new knowledge through communicating with people and that's the way it will be stuck in my head better than reading of it!
I would love to share different outdoor activities such as sports and hiking.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good company, nice conversations, cooking skills (I love making pancakes!), voluntarily doing the dishes :D
