I'm a professional HGV driver and hobby artist. So if you want to see outside the city or just relax for an art session, I'll gladly join you.

I love driving around, seeing and enjoying nature, creating art from glass, BBQ.
I also have a weakness for having a glass of wine, with some good company preferably somewhere by the seaside =)

This year hosting people has been, so far, well and truly amazing. However, recently, my workload has increased to the point where I do not have almost any free time and rarely get to be home. So I have to point out that during working week I will stop hosting people since I don't even have time for myself. On weekends I probably will still be able to.

THIS IS IMPORTANT!!
What I do expect and require from surfers is openness and honesty. If there is something that worries or bothers you, DO NOT be afraid to say it. I won't be offended! Since political correctness isn't my strong suit I might unintentionally(!) offend someone, at which point I want it to be pointed out. I won't take it in a negatice way and I WILL respect it and try and solve the issue whatever way I am able. If I offend or hurt someone I find no shame in apologizing and admitting my mistake. As said before I always try and make people feel relaxed and free around me.

Why I am pointing this out:
Since I finally decided to try out surfing myself I went on a trip in France to meet friends I have made here and decided to have a two day visit of Paris while at it.
While I was staying there I did have (what I though to be) a wonderful host, but as it turned out, she wasn't truly open and honest about her thoughts and apparently I had well and truly stepped on her toes and didn't know anything until I saw the reference. Contents of which I don't really want to get into here, especially their accuracy, but feel free to ask.
Either way, my interest in surfing by myself have all but died for the time being.

So If you are looking for political correctness. This might not the place for you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can't really say what might be amazing for you, but for me, It was helping a Polish truck driver and his machine out of the ditch into which he sunk.
Seeing the happiness in his eyes when a random person comes to help was priceless for me. I love making people smile.

Also decided once, to take my friend out to fly with gliders. A spontaneous idea out of the blue. By his words, the best birthday present he has had.

These are the emotions I value most highly

Teach, Learn, Share

I could share the knowledge about the best places around Tallinn to enjoy nature, swimming or where to just admire sunrises/sunsets.

Also how to use a drill to etch pictures on glass =)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food, some couches and some homemade wine... a smile =)
