About Me

I studied film directing and documentaries are my biggest passion in that field. I also have a vocational education in horticulture but in the future, I would like to go to university again.

I'm introverted which means I'm shy, quiet and reserved when I don't know some person well enough yet. I will open up more easily when I know that I have a similar worldview and common interests with another person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to meet interesting people and use the opportunity to keep my travel costs low. I'm also interested in exploring fascinating places together with my hosts. (Unfortunately, I can't host anyone at the moment because I don't have enough space.)

It would be great to find some permanent friends through Couchsurfing. Unfortunately, my life is so hectic and it is rare for me to find people with whom I connect very well.

Interests

I like to write about my life, and thoughts and develop film ideas. I'm also making mind maps and different schemes. I would like to spend more time developing my blog and expressing my ideas.

Lately, I've been interested in politics. I'm also interested in different communal living arrangements and so-called grassroots action.

In Estonia, I have been involved in mental health activism and I like to explore different practices that deal with mind, body and relationships (from dancing to psychotherapies).
