ABOUT ME

I´d fill my garden with swings and use my days for weeding, hiking, volleyball, then traveling, reading, dancing...
But I also like hard work! Building things. And The National Geographic Magazine. Dogs!!! Geography, old people and their stories. History and folklore. Sustainability is very important to me.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others as you would like to be treated.
We haven´t inherited the earth from our ancestors, it´s borrowed from our children.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been moving around a lot during the last years and I´ve met many lovely people! It´s not just an accommodation service - it´s about the people you meet, things you share. I love the stays which give me a new friend, a person I will be glad to host where ever I´d be later... And of course, it´s all about the good vibes, not the hours spent together.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couch-surfed on my own or actually it has just happened. People have offered their help in most unexpected places... Sharing a tent with total strangers in Mexican mountains was probably the most extreme and most needed help... My experience with official couch surfers has been amazing. For example, I have been put up for 2 weeks in Bucharest instead of a few days as I got ashbound... And a "meet for a coffee" friend took me in for a month in Bolivia when I was looking for a room. I am very grateful for people sharing their world with me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was (and continue to be) moved by the singing revolution, Estonian Song and Dance Celebration. I have been excited about kiiking, seeing a kiwi bird and realizing how clever my dog is.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach some Estonian if you´re determined to drive yourself mad with all the wonderful vowel-combinations. I could also show you how to make rye bread (please let me know in advance so that I could bring along the leaven).
There is so much I would like to learn from you - a new word, dance or a game, your favourite recipe, a new way of seeing things, a story that has inspired you...
