Couch Information
Couch Available: Maybe Preferred Gender: Any Max Surfers Per Night: 2
Shared Sleeping Surface: Depends Shared Room: NoI can offer you mattress big enough for two. I would prefer if you had sleepingbags but I do have some extra blankets as well if you should need one. I live in studio apartment quite near to the city center. (10 minutes by buss, ~40 minutes by foot). My place is a sort of a self-organizing system with its own little chaoscorners. So it is remarkable dusty (hope you are not allergic to it...) I have Internet and usually there is even warm water so you can wash yourselves or you clothes.
I don't have any pets but occasionally my mothers dog comes to visit. I don't know how big of an allergy hazard it is but now you know :)
I'm a smoker and smoking is allowed inside. (for the non smokers: I do smoke in only one room of the two)
I'm not a tour guide type but I'm more than willing to go out with you or just walk around the town. I might be able to recommend you some alternative type of events, bars or people. Friends (30)

Personal Descriptioni'm just a small girl refusing to grow up.How I Participate in CSHost and surf, host and surf.
Due to lack of money it's more host than surf at the moment...

actually i can be interested in almost anything as long as it doesn't bite and comes in a shiny enough package.Music, Movies, BooksMOVIES
like
kustucica, kubric, jarmusch, lynch, tarantino and greeneway are the first dierctors who pop to mind but there is so much more.
i like visually enjoyable films, b-horror flicks, timeless classics (old and new), some indie-movies, films about small things, (and masterpieces which are so bad that they're already good)

my current soundtrack of life: laurie anderson "bright red" meets joy division "candidate" meets dresden dolls "good day" meets emilie simon "flowers".
i'm constantly looking for new and interesting music, always willing to explore something completely new.
dislike
it's really difficult to say what kind of music i can't stand. i guess there's really not that much of it after all...
BOOKS
yes, please!
Pelevin
Marquez
generally i like things that fall under category < quote >It will make you laugh, it will make you cry, it will change your life. < /quote >Types of People I enjoythe ones who have superpowers.

From Agata Pakieła Poznan, Poland Sep 9 Positive Great women of strong character! You have such a good photos with super ideas which I admire. Thanks and best greetz for You!
From Hiroshi Koyama Honjo, Japan Dec 5, 2008 Positive She and her boyfriend Martin, and I are those of a rare spice in the CS world, High-school dropouts in this modern scecity where everyone seems to be university educated.
They show you that you don't need a degree to be creative, and a nice person.
From Hee Chang Jung Seoul, South Korea Sep 20, 2008 Positive Are you okay now with your cold? Although she feels to have a cold, she was willing to have a Korean dinner together and take great and professional photos! Fantastic!
I want to see the photos you gave to me again and again~ but I will have to endure until I arrive in Korea! hehe.
Thank you for giving me a great remembrance and making me taste a world of photography! See you in Seoul or Talinn again!
From Anders Dahlberg Stockholm, Sweden Sep 19, 2008 Positive Ruudu was one of those persons that really makes you want to couchsurf!
I spend two nights talking to her and Martin at there place. They lived in a studio which was a cool experiens of the unordenary kind! Hope to se them both on Stockholm!
From Made Luiga Tallinn, Estonia Aug 31, 2008 Positive pedagogical nature:)
From Reinis Lazda Jurmala, Latvia Jul 18, 2008 Positive I hosted Ruudu during her visit to Riga and it was a nice experience. She is an active person with a good taste of music :)
From FEDESENE Genova, Italy May 29, 2008 Positive I hosted her and her friend for one night, considering that we just met for some hours :-) it was a nice couchsurfing experience :-)
From SUPERYAMI Mouvaux, France Apr 25, 2008 Positive sometime i really do wonder where my head has gone ! it was really cool and fun to have you around the house. even if the time frame was short, we made most of the experience a really good one ! i am glad you enjoyed it and will definitely be in contact should i finally get the chance to explore the baltic region.
From DGEEDIN Paris, France Apr 24, 2008 Positive Ruudu,
You have more comments so I left the comments in Janno's page...
But a personnel note is "you are a great model" ;o)
take care

From VIVIEN P Paris, France Apr 21, 2008 Positive It was a super great time hosting Ruudu, we had too many to talk about and not enough time. She has a super great artistical/punk spirit that makes evry exchange so unique and so intense. I just regret not being able to offer you one other extra nigh on my couch. I will come on September for sure.
In french Ruudu pronouciation would be "Roudo" that could mean "Roue d'eau" : water wheel... Guess what it means about her ?
From Aylin Loğlişi Amsterdam, Netherlands Apr 2, 2008 Positive Ruudu is really sweet. I had a minor allergy (from dust, sucks to be allergic to dust cause it's everywhere I go, all the time) at her place, but she was so caring and apologetic, on top of the fact that she just decided to host me last-minute, all-of-a-sudden. She also took me out to see a Wong Kar-wei film (with Finnish, Swedish, & English subtitles all at once!) at an underground theatre and showed me some of her great photography. Her place is chaotic but familiar; it reminded me of the studio of my all-time-favorite art teacher, which made me smile.
From Myriam Schotzki Hannover, Germany Oct 8, 2007 Positive she was sort of my "babysitter" for one night and i had a good time and a lot to laugh about. colourfull and smiling, active and open hearted. i would say: a lovely person to host and to spend time with. thanx...
From Jonathan Klodt Goettingen, Germany Aug 27, 2007 Positive Ruudu stayed at our flat in Göttingen for two nights. We went out together, joked about conceptual art and had a lot of fun. Hope you arrived in Estonia safely. All the best! Oh.. and you forgot your beans in our fridge, should I mail them to you? :D
From Konstantina Kostourou Goettingen, Germany Jul 8, 2007 Positive We spent an evening out with Ruudu, her friend Maali and a couple more CouchSurfers and it was a lot of fun! Ruudu is definitely more mature than her age. She has already traveled a lot (also under some very weird circumstances:)), she has some great stories to tell and she certainly knows a lot about her country!!
From Kelly Charman Oxford, United Kingdom Jun 15, 2007 Positive I had an awesome time with Ruduu at her flat, which is artsy and inspirational, and at her families cottage at Sareemaa, which was relaxing and peaceful. Definately had some fun with good old MR Cheap Vodka and didnt want to experience the 777, haha
Have to come to Oz!!!
From Krystle Medina Sydney, Australia Jun 13, 2007 Positive Ruudu was fantastic! Great sense of humour that would keep me laughing all day, very creative and artistic which I loved and sociable.
She took us to her cottage on the beach in Saaremaa (hope i spelt that right cos Ive asked WAAAAY too many times now ha) and relaxed, painted, drew, drank and picked herbs from the garden. It was beautiful!!!
Ruudu is a charismatic chicky babe, definately worth meeting!
From Maali Käbin Tartu, Estonia Apr 25, 2007 Positive Ruudu is an elegant girl who at any moment may possess (or be possessed by) any of the following: huge inflatable penis, stripey gloves, dozen broken umbrellas, fake nails (not kidding!), three pairs of false teeth, fishnet stockings with flowers, a can of black paint, a dinosaur. Strange ideas have a permanent home in her head, and when you´re talking to her, they start to grow uncontrollably and to spread their monstrous existance towards infinity.
From Rasmus Kask Tallinn, Estonia Mar 22, 2007 Positive chippery girl walking her own way or trying to find it or a bit of both. she always manages to squeeze a smile out of me with no effort at all. knows good people, good music, good movies, good places. hedonistic in the most positive sense of the word :)
From Derek Wilson Anchorage, United States Mar 3, 2007 Positive We had some drinks and she was my tallinn tour guide :D |
