About Me

Some might say I'm on the quiet side of the spectrum, though when the theme is right can talk for hours. I’m friendly, down-to-earth and on rare occasions might even smile. It’s a trait of Estonians.

Love to observe, listen and share thoughts. Appreciate people who are truly inspired by something.

I’ve worked and volunteered in various projects in a number of fields from photography, cinemas and film festivals. Generally as an event producer.

My interests are broad. I’m interested in photography, movies, TV shows, design, architecture. I try keep myself in touch with all the latest gadgets, science news, world events. I just generally give a damn.

Don't expect me to go to a club party. But local bars and pubs – absolutely.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking for some variety, hoping to see new places and new things.

On my trip I'm looking to capture and bring positive emotions back with me.

Music, Movies, and Books

MOVIES (In no particular order)
Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
Cidade de Deus
Once
Lucky Number Slevin
Every Harry Potter film
Garden State

MUSIC
Latest revelation for me is Nick Cave
Youth classics I always come back to are:
Good Charlotte, Billy Talent, Nirvana
Newer music:
The XX
Anna of the North – Sway
Chet Faker

But most of the time I get lost into oddities that I may never come back to.

BOOKS
That one standing by my bed for far too long
Love reading, but I get lost in books, they create a parallel world, so I actually never get to the end

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Put together an IKEA table

Teach, Learn, Share

Learn local culture, cooking and languages. Interested in local everyday life as well as general world-views and politics.
