About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life!

ABOUT ME

I love to live a full life! Always to be honest with myself and other people, be open to new experiences and possibilities. At the same time I enjoy the simplicity and peacefullness in life. I don't like to rush into things, but take the time to discover and feel everything in my own rythm.
I participate in different kind of culture events, do sports, spend time with my family and friends...
I love history and nature, music and art. (Well, of course it's very broadly put.)

PHILOSOPHY

Better regret something you did than something you didn't do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to host people when I have the possibility to spend time with them, get to know my guest and offer care and comfort. I guess I live quite a busy life, so I haven't had the chance to be available for CS so much. But every time I've taken this opportunity, it's been a lifetime experience! For a very simple reason - all people are unique. After having met a new person from another country and different cultural background, talking about life and "exploring" each other's minds, I feel that my life is so much richer.
I haven't been couchsurfing myself so much, but I'm planning to use it more in the future. And for sure - it's not for saving money, but for meeting with new people and feeling the local atmosphere.

I have hosted some people and so far it has been very enjoyable!

Music, Movies, and Books

I "consume" a lot of music and books in all styles and forms.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's hard to point out. I think I've seen and experienced a lot of amazing things...never made a "top 10". The most intense and unforgetable moments in life tend to be indescribable. And sometimes you notice elusive beauty in such simple things!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm willing to share my experiences, memories, opinions and dreams with people I feel comfortable with. But I like to listen to other people more.
I can teach you how to play the piano, for example... or how to say "õ" (the letter "O" with a roof on top!) vocal in Estonian.
