About Me

I study semiotics and culture theory in the University of Tartu, focusing on identity theories and subcultures. I always enjoy meeting new people and discovering how different people experience, see and interpret the world.

I love discussions about films, books, music and, well, culture and life in general.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a very eclectic music taste, meaning I listen to all kinds of stuff, from disco and boogie to gangsta rap to folk music. Best three songs in the world, though: Earth, Wind and Fire - September; Iggy Pop - The Passenger; Virmalised - Naer.

I like to watch movies quite a lot, so it's hard to pick a favourite, but usually when people ask, I say "The Big Lebowski," I'll never get tired of that one.

I would have to say "Solaris" by Stanislaw Lem and "Flowers for Algernon" by Daniel Keyes are probably my favourite books, just because they provided me with the most food for thought.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I worked in a mental health centre for a year, helping people with alzheimer's, scizophrenia or parkinson's. It was the hardest year of my life, but I'm proud that I came through it.
