About Me

I love mother nature and travel. Dancing and music are mine, but unfortunately I can’t dance anymore. I love taking photographs, shooting videos and various interesting shots. I love listening to silence, the noise of the forest, looking at water and fire.
My knowledge of English is a little poor and I sometimes use a translator)
I play the jew's harp and I have a harp, but I still haven’t started learning to play it. I love board games and all sorts of eccentricities, good positive people and communication with them. I love to think and reflect. To look at the stars.

I was in different wild mountains and realized one thing for myself:
Mountains are definitely my place of power. The only things better than mountains are mountains.

I am a very lucky person! I've already gotten a royal flush on the flop in Texas Hold'em three times in my life.

I have two educations: the first is a pastry chef, the second is a cook.
The restaurant under the leadership of my chef was included in the Michelin Guide of Estonia in 2022, 2023 and 2024.
I'm very pleased to be on this team.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I decided to see the world and I am sure that like me a lot. Everyone may need help and good company. And the people in this world are very interesting.
Also, this resource helps you meet good people. Some of the people I met here we have been communicating with for many years.

I like to travel and communicate with new people. I like to learn something new and I like to watch new places, go to new cities. I like to cook and eat delicious food. I like to experiment. And I really like to make a video

📌I collect tax stamps from tobacco, cigars and cigarette packs from different countries. So, I will be grateful if you grab them for me from your trip.

I started flying a drone, and we can go somewhere with you and fly the drone to look at the area from a bird's eye view.
