23, Estonian 🇪🇪 (heart belongs to the southern countryside)!
Currently studying MSc in Environmental Governance and Adaptation to Climate Change and on an Erasmus exchange year in Wageningen University in the Netherlands 🇳🇱.
I always trust my gut feeling, but I try to get out of my comfort zone as much as possible.

Average waiting time, I would say 15 min, and longest was Feb 2025 near Coimbra in Portugal for 3h and then I just took the train (for free as long as I could) as I needed to get to my plane in Faro.
You can life off foodsharing and dumpsterdiving in Estonia (Tartu) and also in the Netherlands if you wanted to. Also you can take the bus without ticket until you are in the Facebook groups where people post where the controls are (Tartu again) - have managed 3 years like that. Have succesfully managed to take the metros in Paris also for free. Drove my car without insurance for a year and with “farmer’s diesel” in Estonia. And so on. I am young and full of need for adrenaline & dopamine, so I currently truly enjoy all these things - fighting the capitalism in my own ways, so to say. 🥷
I really want someone knowledgeable to take me train/metrohopping and on urbex adventures (can be anything, but for example underground tunnels in Paris etc). Also to car meetings/illegal races (outside of Estonia). 🙏🏻
