I am an MBA student, traveller, entrepreneur. I have a background in human resources management, training and recruiting people.
I have travelled to: 35 countries here and there with a special love for Morocco, Nepal, Brazil and Colombia.
My three passions: reading, cooking and travelling.
I love my city because: We started a unique non-profit project back in 2006 which is an alternative tourist information center for backpackers and independent travellers that is determined to send people off the beaten track in Tallinn and show them the real stuff.
I know great tips about: Alternative places, retro cafes, good food, little design shops.
My idea of a great trip is: Getting lost in places where I am the only foreigner, trying all kinds of weird local food and drinks.
