About me
About me
I was born in a small industrial border town. My teenage hood was all about our crew, rap, basketball and our street stories. Then I moved to the South to study in Tartu University, where for 5 years I learned science and enjoyed the free student life.
When Estonia joined the EU, I made a move to Ireland, where I spent 2 years of my precious life pouring Guinness to people's glasses in the unforgettable small town of Clifden. Finally, in 2005, I settled down in Tallinn.
Now, apart from wandering around in the city, I work as entrepreneur/guide in the up-and-coming tourism business here and try to do my best in entertaining and hosting my guests.
Why Tallinn?
Tallinn has almost everything I need. It has people that are intelligent, modern, proud and wicked at the same time. It has sea, which gives me a sense of limitless perspective, an open scene and a fresh breeze. It has history, with Gothic medieval limestone walls and it has a relatively small size, so I can easily ride my bike everywhere...
