CURRENT MISSION Follow the white rabbit! ABOUT ME sociable, delicate, intuitive, soft-spoken, thorough, tender, astute, flexible, compassionate, usually kind and sweet PHILOSOPHY Piece of beauty every day

Hi! I'm Daniel, and I cannot seem to stay in one place for too long. I guess that's a common Couchsurfer trait! I've seen many beautiful places, but there's always the possibility of something new over the horizon :). I'm currently living in Tartu, Estonia where I am studying to get a master's degree in Folkloristics.

CURRENT MISSION i'm a smile spammer :) mother of two: Nika and Luka ABOUT ME i'm always planning at least three journeys and i have a full bag with other ideas, too. i'm a self-taught artist, a youth worker, i like creativity and improvisation, i don't like to be too serious and I'm not religious (in a common way). trying to go the way of inner smiling :) to this moment my children are the best experience that happened (and is happening))) to me in my life. from journeys it was the trip to Baikal lake, kayaking on lake Pihlajavesi in Eastern Finland, a creativity training in Balestrand and a work journey to Iceland. PHILOSOPHY smile and move further! IMPORTANT: dear guys, CS is for me not a chat, not a dating portal and not an analogue of Facebook. it has a certain purpose regarding travelling. please, don't bother me, if you feel lonely or if you just looking for a girl to chat.

Have been using CS 10 years met some cool people saddly new account. Open minded and happy guy from Estonia.

I'm a husband and a father of three little boys. About ten years ago, my wife Eleri and I did a year-and-a-half-long trip through Oceania, Asia, and the Middle East. These days, we travel shorter distances and stay closer to home — partly because we now have more baggage thanks to the kids. One of the ways we continue exploring the world is by hosting travellers, which I believe can broaden our children’s horizons just as much as going places ourselves. I work at the University of Tartu and am also on the long journey of finishing my PhD in sociology, focussing on postsocialist transformations and market transition theories. Another project that's slowly coming to an end (finally!) is renovating our apartment in a 100-year-old wooden house. When I travel, the most important thing for me is to learn — whether it’s about local culture, nature, the people I meet, or even about myself. I guess that's why I prefer solid conversations to wild parties. And while I like being around people and learning from others first-hand, I also need time to reflect on what I see and experience around me. As a seasoned traveller once said: only a third of the journey is spent on the road — another third is taken up by learning about the country you go to before you even leave home, and the final third goes into making sense of it all afterwards.

Hello, I'm Albert. I'm 19 years old and I come from Estonia. I am a fresh graduate from highschool who has decided to take a gap year before uni studies. My personal all-time favorite activities are doing a deep research in absolutely everything, playing my guitar, taking long walks alone and discovering new things. I love history, maps, politics, cities, music and urban planning. I have not traveled a lot in my life and I am trying to make a major breakout with my gap year. I want to experience new settings and people. For me, taking a gap year feels like creating my own personal world map that I plan to orient myself with for the rest of my life. I have decided to try Couchsurfers because I believe it is a lot better alternative for getting the full immerse experience in discovering a new place. This is something that I have somewhat experienced before when in 2025 I took part of a week long Erasmus+ project in Budapest.

WHAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED THANK TO COUCHSURFING - Many great, wonderful guests. - A lot of good, interesting, educating chats around my or my hosts kitchen table. - My son has practiced English - And he has had a lot of good moments playing with our guests - I have experienced that couchsurfers are one of the best "villages" to raise my son :) - my world has broadened - new perspectives, ideas, tastes, attitudes, knowledge about different countries and places - I am more convinced than ever before that a) there are so many great people b) I want to travel (more, if possible) c) I like guests a lot, so does my son WHAT KIND OF POTENTIAL DO I SEE - even more great guests - to see different ways of living, hear about lifehacks, learn how to live according to my needs and values - to live (more) according to degrowth principles - do less, live more, be more connected and less busy in an unhealthy way - to make travelling more affordable - ... and more of a project of visiting friends - I see it as a good, grassroot level tool for slow and good travelling and living in general - I am into the world of opened doors and opened hearts - so the tendency that we seem to visit friends less and less (at least it seems so in my social surroundings) frustrates me. I want my home to be warm and friendly space where good people are always welcome - so CS is a practical tool to live in the warmer and more welcoming bubble... and to make the bubble bigger 🙃 *** I want a lot from life and I have really got a lot. In exchange, I think, I have a lot to give to the world and people around me as well. The life is about getting and giving - that is how I see it.
