About Me

Hi there!

I am together with my partner of over 10 years and I love adventuring with her but we also like to travel solo also but if you were to stay with me you would be staying with us!

Music is something that has always come natural to me and is my true lifes work. As a singer and guitarist I work with many different talented musicians performing regularly in Estonia and also musical workshops and performances are a big part of my work also.

If you would like to know more about me as a musician you can visit

Honest words are something I really appreciate from others and prefer to hear someone tell it like it is rather than talk around the corners, Life's to short for small talk. ;-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of the toughest thing about travelling is the cost of accommodation. And even if you can afford it usually you are isolated in some way unless your staying in a hostel, but even there you still isolated from a true local experience in a way, by the international comfort zone of fellow travellers.

Couch surfing is a great social platform to make true lasting friends all around the world and experience a local perspective.

Hospitality is the highest art, both to give it and to humbly appreciate it. Couch surfing is another way to practice this art.

Interests

I love to jam and play music with other people. I play guitar, flute, didgeridoo and sing.

To keep fit I train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Cooking and food is wonderful and my favorite kitchens would be Italian and Japanese.

Music, Movies, and Books

Currently I am listening to,

Tame Impala and Xavier Rudd

I listen to a lot of music all the time you can find my playlists on spotify.

Reading a book by Tim Powers - On stranger tides (the original novel that the Pirates of the Caribbean was based)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have built up a Hostel called Euphoria in Tallinn Estonia.

Backpacking from Sweden to the Baltics I fell in love with Estonia and ended up working in a hostel which in the end I started running. Here we play music most nights, run meditation workshops, Lucid dreaming clubs and play host to many travelling musicians and guest speakers.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach,

you how to learn music through jamming. No matter what level and no matter what instrument.

Lucid Dreaming - Teach you what it is and coach you to get there

Meditation- I have been a deep meditator for the past 10 years and have a lot of cool tricks to share.

What I Can Share with Hosts

As I take care of a Hostel as well as my own home, I can appreciate what is needed to keep the place feeling like home.

I offer my openness and willingness to help during my stay and will contribute to the house any way I can.

Countries I’ve Visited

Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand
