Hello, my name is Tanya. Originally I come from Estonia but at the moment I’m finishing my masters degree in Weimar, Germany!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, my very first CS experience was spontaneous. Me and 4 other girls were hosted by a veeeery nice guy in Prague and since then I was very lucky with all my hosts and guests. They taught me a lot and not only about their country/language.

It helped me a lot to become less shy and feel more confident. I'd say that all my favourite cities became favourite because of the people I met through CS and I'd like to make people who come to Tallinn feel the same!

Interests

First of all, I'm interested in modern art, especially in its educative purpose (museums, books, games etc) and in collaboration between art and sciences.

I like to learn languages. In my opinion, it makes me understand better other cultures and different ways of thinking.

I'm also interested in geography and modern history (especially the period of Cold War), social salsa dancing, yoga and pilates :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Parasailing when you are afraid of height and water at the same time

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to learn from other couchsurfers about their travelling experience, strange stories, and cooking their favourite meals! (I'm not very good at cooking, unfortunately)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to meet people with different point of views. I may not agree with them, but it definitely opens my mind and gets ride from stereotypes!
