Hey! My name is Heli and I'm currently a student at SciencesPo in Dijon, France. I'm Estonian but I also speak French and English (and I'm studying Russian and German) - languages and travelling are some of my greatest passions :) I love theatre and people who are sarcastic, but kind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think tips from locals are the best travelling book anyone could have.

Interests

I find history, social studies, theatre, literature, art and languages extremely interesting.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't have one specific favorite in any of those. At the moment, I'm listening to Paolo Nutini and Hozier a lot and the last movie I really enjoyed was "Dieu existe, il habite à Bruxelles" ("God exists, he lives in Brussels"). My favorite book series is Harry Potter, but I really like books by Agatha Christie, Jane Austen, Mihhail Bulgakov, Erich Maria Remarque and Henrik Ibsen's plays.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've written a 50-page research paper on the differences of depicting male characters in the works of male and female fairy tale authors from the 17th century France. It was a lot more interesting than it sounds :D

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you (and I'd really like to!) something about Estonia and its culture - show you videos of the Song Festival or talk about the innovation and e-state.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A room to stay in, dinner and a guided tour of the city, company if you wish to spend time together.
