WILLKOMMEN! TERVIST! VÄGA MEELDIV!
I have been living and studying in Tallinn, Estonia since August 2018. I, like so many of you, couldn't locate Estonia on a map before moving here. Coming here without expectations has proven to be a good thing. I've fallen in love with this country for everything that it truly is. Keep reading here to learn more about where I currently am, the blog tab for some original thoughts & come back for more fellow adventurers.
📍 CURRENTLY IN ESTONIA
NATURE & CULTURE
Did you know that Estonia is one of Europe’s least crowded countries? With a population just barely over 1 million, you’ll never feel claustrophobic. The beautiful bogs and fascinating forests offer an adventure around every corner.
If you want the thrill of a European city and the comfort of a small town, then Tallinn is for you. Living here has been nothing short of a dream. The well-preserved medieval Old Town feels like walking through a fairy tale. Everyone, yes EVERYONE, here is nationalistic about their advanced IT skills and Skype. The song festival that happens every four years is basically a holy holiday in this country. If you don‘t know how Estonians are prideful with their singing skills, you should know singing started a revolution here. Black bread has become a staple in my diet—with the occasional potatoes and sauerkraut. Milk is bagged and there aren‘t free refills, but I wouldn‘t change it for my burgers and Hot Dogs just yet. |
