About Me

I mostly like simple things in life - the first sunny day in spring, a 5 AM bicycle trip with my best friend in God-knows-where, a concert that was not so great, but was actually good just because of that...
I have realised quite a while ago that there are so many good, friendly and special people in the world. I would like to meet you all!

PHILOSOPHY

Actions speak. Words are worthless.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet as many amazing people as possible and to see as many of the great places in the world as possible!

Interests

I love to read and sing (the latter being mostly done in the shower for the sake of other people). Used to play the piano and paint also, now sadly do not have so much time for that anymore. I love hiking and simply walking around and dicsovering the city (even I have yet some places to see in Tallinn). I also do agility and obedience with my dog
I love to do things on the spur of the moment. That`s how the best things happen. But then again, I also like to carefully plan my bigger and longer travels.
Best thing in the world? To take my dog, and my backback, pack a lunch, fill my thermos, get on a train and go hiking (Estonia has AMAZING possibilities for that) or walking in the old town.
I`m also slightly addicted to live gigs. So many bands, so little money!
I also own a horse, a dog and a cat. These amazing animals really can teach you loads about the world and even yourself.
And one thing I definitely want to do at one point - GLASTONBURY!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Truly realizing that there is never any point to regret our choices. One just has to learn from them. Life`s too short to be afraid, right?

Teach, Learn, Share

Look back, don`t stare!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a free couch to offer which would probably sleep 2 people. My apartment is really small though (30m2), so do not expect to have a lot of room to manouver, or a lot of privacy for yourself. Also, as I have a cat and a dog and as both are extra-social and extremely friendly, people crashing at my place have to love animals and not mind an occasional hair on their clothes.
