Knowing who I am has always been an important part of knowing what I want. I'm observant, I'm quiet. I love winter--snow, cold, all of it. I like change. If someone tells me I can't do something, then I work twice as hard to prove that I can.

I am a writer. My life exists in words. I live them, breathe them. I look at the world and put it into words in my head, even if some of them never make it on to paper.

Horses have been a part of my life since I was five.

I want to learn as many languages as I can. There is nothing better than speaking with someone in their native language. Or that first spark of understanding that comes with it.

I cannot cook. I'm terrible at it. Or rather, I'm too lazy to do it. I do dishes though. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to meet people in the area I'm living. I moved to Tallinn last year, but thus far have not made many friends.
