Overview
About Me
I am open minded, I love most cats and music. I myself have three black cats alI together. I am introvert and calm nordic type person, but I can talk every issues and I have no problems to talk even hard things for me. I can open myself and I have no secrets behind sincere and reliable persons.
I have organised mostly dark music (incl. very different substyles of industrial, post industrial and post punk) events in Estonia since 2010 – Darkland Fire Festival, Dark Romantic Evenings, Pandivere Music Festival and various concerts. I mainly prefer to organise events at special venues in small towns and in the countryside, because it is important that remote places also have varied cultural life.
My festival Darkland Fire got EFFE label 2019-2020, it is Europe’s quality stamp for remarkable arts festivals. https://www.festivalfinder.eu/festivals/darkland-fire
My events are quite small and inimate. I dont like big growded events and places myself too. I like more direct experiences, great places that no tourist magnets, but just nice and important way or another.
I've seen a lot of my life, visited different places and experienced special feelings. Now I think more about life and experience and understand how important it is to share everything with others. Not so much to share things, but just thoughts, feelings and most importantly love.
I am pesco-ovo-lacto-vegetarian:). So I do not eat animals and birds etc meat, but I really enjoy seafood and fish and like beer and wine. I am a non-smoker.
I am fighting with demons of quite bad shape depression. Sometimes its so hard to start and do things and get out at home, because grey clods and pain of depression. I also have problems with exercise disability, related to back problems, weight and knees. Therefore, long walking tours and long stairs are not suitable for me. Despite disabilities I try do my best to be useful member of sociaty.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
it's related with my interests. Mostly music events or meetings for the festival organisers. Its also important to meet new people and local people if I travel. As I dont have everyday work and volunteering for my NPO organising alternative music events, so there also important save some money during low budget traveling.
And of course it helps find friends and contacts in real life - to socialize is important for me, because the depression its not easy to get out of home and meet people...
