Overview
About Me
Travelling until July 2023
I am a bohemian with a realistic mind :D True values in life are friendship and love, things wich can not be measured in gold :) I think Jon Lajoie would say "Everyday normal guy" :D
Prefer to host people who have also hosted people, because coucsurfing is about giving and receiving.
My favourite spot in Tallinn is Kalarand just a perfect rustic place to have some beers and stare @ the sea allthough not for long as they will soon build new appartments there so i guess i have to start searching for a new spot.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To meet new people, eat new cusines and to live the life to the fullest ! Lately reading the request some people do not seem to understand what couchsurfing is all about. Its not just a way to find cheap accommodation if I want that I can check into a hostel. The main thing is cultural experience, to see the country through local eyes and finding new friends all over the world.
Interests
Cooking, when I have the mood for it. Beer, i love beer. Weekend parties with good music( dancehall, rock, metal, punk, electro house, techno). Dancing - i do not have a very good sense of rhythm and thats the reason why it might look funny and awkward when I dance but who cares main thing is to have fun :D
And also the usual theatre, cinema, sport events(soccer, basketball).
I am a FC Bayern München and German national footbal team fan :)
And I like to be outside, camping, fishing, BBQ, bycycle riding, allthough in Estonia its quite complicated because of the weather. Oh yeah and fishing I am not very good @ it, mostly drinking beer :D but i really like to be out in the nature and if im lucky also catch smth.

Music, Movies, and Books
Books: Charles Bukowski " Women", Mikhail Bulgakov " The Master and Margarita"
I would like to read a book from every country wich kind of gives a hint or a picture of the people who are living there. For estonians i think the closest book is "Tõde ja Õigus"(Truth and Justice) by Anton Hansen Tammsaare, its quite hard reading but it gives you a really good insight about estonians
Music: Rammstein, Kasabian, Major Lazer, Korn, Audio Bullys, Robyn, Die Antwoord, Blood Orange, Tame Impala, Fever Ray and so many more, I am abit of melomaniac. A must see: Silverio from Mexico :D
My favourite song is "Spiegel im Spiegel" by Arvo Pärt, its just makes you think how beautiful of a soul a person must have to create someting like that. And also what kind of garbage we are forced to listen from radio.
Movies: Yeah i watch a lot of them. Do not like the american fart humour and horror movies that much but everything else goes. But a must watch is the french one "The Intouchables"
TV series: Balck Sails, Stargate, Battlestar Galactica, Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men(before Ashton Kutcher), Vikings, Modern Family, Fringe, Person of Interest, Game of Thrones, Happy!, Star Trek, The End of the F***ing World.
Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern - just love that tv show :P
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I have visited 4 times european biggest music festival Woodstock in Poland, aprox 700 000 people( this is the actual number, insane). Place where i learned that The Darkness is one hell of a live band :)
Teach, Learn, Share
Not sure what to write here :)
I have a Ukulele but have been to lazy to learn it so someone can have an awsome oppurtunity to teach me :D

What I Can Share with Hosts
My wonderful personality. Hombrewed beer if I have some left.
The shy, grumpy, reserved attitude of estonians.
