A proactive, smart and fun individual who loves travel, challenges and self growth. From Estonia originally, I spend 9 months of the year around the world pursuing different challenges and learning about people, business, cultures and myself.

Currently in the process of figuring out how can I impact 1 million people positively in my lifetime.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am passionate about meeting people from all different areas of life and learning to understand their stories. The best way to understand a culture, country and people is to by interacting with them besides being a typical tourist.

Also, because people have helped me in my life and it has made all the difference. To me, offering that friendly hand back is not paying a debt but a natural thing like breathing out after breathing in.

Interests

Guitar, travelling, investing, organising events, teaching, mentoring, people, history (especially American and European and ancient), self development (I believe happiness is progress - when you feel you are learning and growing, you are always happy), soccer, crossfit, skiing

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - Matchbox 20, Muse, Coldplay. Top of Billboard artists like Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars and others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I sold educational books door to door in one of the most rigorous entrepreneurial programs available in the world, working 82+ hours a day, 6 days a week, 12 weeks for the summer. I met over 3000 families in one summer - rich, poor, old, young, different ethnicities, different family situations, different values. One of the most eye opening experiences of my life which taught me a lot about myself, my pride, discipline and ego but even more about where different decisions have led in life. I saw qualities and behaviours I admire and want to become like and qualities I swore I will never do myself. I learned to understand people and the way they think and feel - their ambitions, goals, hopes, fears and expectations. Impact for life!
