CURRENT MISSION

To stay happy

ABOUT ME

Me and my good friend Marika (current CS profile Maalikas) created this profile while traveling around Asia and Pacific Ocean region for more than a year. We made our gap-year to see new cultures, to meet new people and to energize ourselves before taking new steps in our lives.

We traveled 7 months together, after that we continued separately. I traveled another 6 months in Asia and in October 2009 returned to Estonia. Marika lived 5 months in Bali, Indonesia and then travelled further to South-America, then back to Asia and in December 2010 returned to Estonia.

If you are more interested about this travel take a look at our website www.marikatom.blogspot.com

After traveling separately we both used this account further to explore the world until Marika made her own CS account. I went on using this account.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Would be happy to share the emotions with my friends and co-travelers what I have experienced through couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Before the long-term travel I had no experience. I had just read about the experience from other travelers in Estonian newspapers. Now I have experienced it in many Asian and Pacific countries and I would highly recommend it for everyone.

Interests

New cultures and inspiring people is something really exciting which comes along with the traveling. Sports definitely is the best way to energize yourself. Photography is just one of the best hobbies to stop the time and keep the track about colorful memories.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music has some amazing and unexplained influence on me. Even though I do not play any instrument myself or hardly can sing, there is some magic in music for me.
So my artists are Sigur Ros, Jamie Woon, Nicolas Jaar, Olafur Arnalds, Ludovico Einaudi, Arvo Pärt, Ulrich Schnauss, Bon Iver, Chicane, Efterklang, Ewert and the Two Dragons, Air, Nils Frahm, etc

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The decision to go for the wild and long travel definitely changed my way of traveling forever and gave me the endless addiction to explore the world.
