About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be a good person.

ABOUT ME

All about me?

No, believe me it's gonna be way too long story.

So, for sake of everybody I just keep it simple and if after reading this you still interested in meeting me, then bring it on! :)

I come from a small village of Estonia where I spent my awesome childhood running around in fields and playing with other country kids. But then they put me to kindergarten, where I had to become a good girl. I did my job well and it ended up finishing high school with only the best grades (geek!). After that I decided to study Music Therapy as I have always been interested in music and psychology. My studies and also work mean I am always surrounded by a lot of people and it's great! I love music. I have studied the flute for 12 years, also several other instruments. Is nothing better than a nice bonfire and some live music with your friends. I obviously love travelling. I am pretty much a newcomer in travelling world, but I am doing my best to upgrade myself. Is amazing how much knowledge and experience you can gain from interacting with people from another cultures and backgrounds. Of course there are plenty of more things I enjoy and cherish, but I leave more for later..

*cheers

In case you're interested, I also have another account with my friends..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There have been numerous amazing things I've done/seen in my life and most possibly there are many to come.

a few of them that I find worth mentioning:

-being one of the 30,000 singers to perform to an audience of 80,000 (who actually sing along as well) during Estonian Song Festival.

-sleeping on the dock of a lake in a sleeping bag beneath the sky full of shooting stars, listening ducks quacking during the night, feeling the morning dew on your face.

-falling asleep while laying on the rocks of Rossespoint beach in Ireland, listening to the sound of waves.

(hmm, 2 out of 3 involve sleeping. I must really think it's something amazing) :)

Teach, Learn, Share

There are some things that I can master pretty good, so, if you are truly interested in learning how to play the flute or the djembe, speak Estonian or dance Estonian folk dance, then just let me know.

As for learning, I am like a sponge! Eager to learn everything you got there!
