About Me

I am spontaneous, loyal and my friends say I talk too much. I am open and optimistic.

If you want to contact me for a couchrequest add estonian word "veoautojuht" so I know you have read my profile.

I was born and raised in Estonia. Spent summers at my grandparents farm as kid and built model rockets and planes as hobby. I moved to Arvika in Sweden as a teenager together with family. The family moved back to Estonia when I moved to Gothenburg to study engineering at Chalmers. After working as a consultant for Ericsson and Volvo for couple of years I decided to quit work and work on my own startup.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Not in that particular order:
* To meet new people, learn new cultures.
* To experience my hometown in new ways do spontaneous stuff together.
* I rent quite a big apartment alone in suburbs of Gothenburg.

Interests

I am interested in technology and science. Inventing and building stuff.

Physics, mathematics, computers, programming, medical technology, brainresearch, artificial intelligence, quads, startups, woodworking, cars, gym, suana, baking, cooking, long walks in previously undiscovered places.

And meeting new people!
