About Me

Hey you! Out of curiosity I've decided to explore the world with my whole life packed in a backpack for the first time ever. I've lived abroad before and loved meeting people with different backgrounds, getting to know their culture and widening my own world by experiencing this. The world is full of beauty and I'm about to create great memories by exploring it.

As you can see, I'm a beginner in couchsurfing. My dear friends shared so many awesome couchsurfing stories that I decided to try it out myself. My dream is to become the one telling epic stories about couchsurfing experiences :)

Besides travelling I'm a fan of reading, I suppose this is my favorite hobby. Besides reading I love yoga and hiking (relatively new hobby). If you're interested in learning about investments (stock market) then I'm more than open to share my knowledge and experiences with you :)

CURRENTLY TRAVELLING SINCE SEPTEMBER 2021

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm couchsurfing to see beautiful locations through local person's eyes, nothing's more authentic than that. Of course I like to play a tourist and see all the sights but talking and having a walk/tour with the local is something more.

The second reason is that I would love to meet new people from all around the world. Who knows - maybe we will make a great connection and stay in touch for the rest of our lives :)

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite book is definitely "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho. Highly recommended if you're unsure about your life's direction. Or actually, even if you're on the right path, just read it :)

Artist recommendations: Ben Böhmer, Ludovico Einaudi (some classical music vibes), The Blaze.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1) Taking a gap year after high school and moving to Belgium to become an Au Pair. I'm a huge believer (and practicioner) of getting out of comfort zone and exploring life and yourself through it. While living in Belgium I learned so much about myself and continue to do so in my current travels.

2) Doing Erasmus during my Bachelor studies in Amsterdam. WOW, what an experience! Erasmus is one of the best things that a university student can do for themselves!

3) Walking Camino de Santiago in October 2021. If you're curious then I'd be more than happy to tell you ALL about it! Beware that after this talk you might pack your stuff and go for it too :)

Teach, Learn, Share

If you're interested in learning some Russian or Estonian then let me know, I would be happy to teach.

One of my biggest passions is investing. Why? Because I see that many (young) people don't know anything about this world and therefore are missing out on opportunities to earn passive income and retire early. Through my career I've learned many things about investing and of course I have my own skin in the game. If you're interested then I would be happy to share some wizdom.
PS: Please don't expect to get direct recommendation on which stocks to buy :)

I love cooking and everything is better when it's shared, right? :)
