About Me

I am half-Armenian Ukrainian who is currently living in Estonia. I am doing EVS (European Voluntary Service) in Estonia now and before I studied at the University of Tartu.
I live in a small village Kohila, that is 40-50 minutes (by train) away from Tallinn (2,40 euro one way )
There is very beautiful nature here, so if you want to explore the Estonian countryside, you are welcome!

I have 2 flatmates and a lovely cat.
