About Me

Me, my wife and two little sons live in a house in Tõrva with a big garden. We have the whole second floor free (with a small kitchen, wc, shower, living room and two bedrooms). You can use it, if you want.

I work as a technician in a close by wood pellet factory. My wife is a kindegarden teacher. On our spare time we attend bar in a local pub, witch is owned by close friends and runned by many. We are founders of a local astronomy club, I shoot the sky and write about astronomy. You can check it out: https://www.facebook.com/torvaastronoomiaklubi

I read books, drink beer, write about space and science.

I enjoy hitchhiking, camping, fishing, traveling - in short everything to do with untouched nature and/or new adventures goes.

I'm basically anti-violence kinda guy, like to laugh and have good time. No bullshit and no religion.
