    New Beginning / Vlog8 – 2018

    Release date: February 27, 2018

    Today is very important day for Estonian people. We are celebrating 100 jubilee of independence. Celebrations have been going on whole this week but today (24 February) is the main day. For me it is very special day. I’ve been waiting so long for that time and I’m super happy to ski again. Now I can’t wait when I can go back to jumps and rails.

    Let’s Try Not to Burn Down the Kitchen / Vlog21 – 2018

    Release date: November 8, 2018

    It gets dark really early in Estonia this time of the year, so we decided to spend some time in the kitchen instead of hitting outdoors. Today’s episode is all about good food and good times. We prepared four-course meal that we are pretty proud of and learned quite a few kitchen hacks on the way. Check from the vlog how to roast tomatoes, how to know if avocado is ripe enough and how to prepare high quality meat.

    Something Needs to be Done / Vlog5 – 2019

    Release date: March 25, 2019

    This vlog takes me to Kenya for Fourth Session of the United Nations Environment Assembly. I got invited by Estonia´s Ministry of the Environment as an ambassador of youth, to point on environmental issues and how even the smallest changes in our everyday habits and choices can make big difference, that all starts within, to get us – young people – more engaged, because we are the future.

    One evening I performed with a speech in front of 300 people (probably) and it was easily one of the hardest time in my life. I also attended Youth Champions of the Earth reception. It was very interesting, because all the guests had an opportunity to discuss and say their opinion about different environmental problems and the ways they see things should be solved.

    Besides all the formal stuff during the 3 day stay I got to visit David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust Orphans Project in Nairobi and got to see and touch baby elephants, super cute. These elephants there are NOT kept as prisoners, they are rescued and rehabilitated orphaned infant elephants. You can find out more about this project from https://www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org and even adopt one (search from the link, but it does not mean you can take one home with you :))

    Right after elephants the journey continued to see giraffes. They are amazing, just like from cartoon. Besides petting them I found out that it is a place that seeks to secure their environment. Their main work is to carry out environmental conservation initiatives. The care for giraffes that are endangered is one of the conservation activities that they do.

    Last day started very early, wake up call was like at 5am, because from 6am had ahead a 3h drive to Nyahururu to visit Estonian House in Kenya that is hosted by Estonian runner Tiidrek Nurme. He is an Olympian and also several Estonia records holder in running. For example he broke one of the oldest record that had stayed unbeaten for 42 years.

    In Nyahururu I visited local school to inspire and share my story. I was warmly welcomed by around 400 students. Meeting these kids was so humble and inspiring to me, I will never forget it, it was very special.

    Kenya was so AMAZING, it has a lot more to offer than I was able to forward with so short time. It has beautiful and rich wildlife. Thank you Kenya! Thank you all for that priceless experience!

Also shared a stage with Reket who is an Estonian rapper and who didn’t know yet then I was announcing the Eurovision points from Estonia.

    Christmas in Tallinn – Vlog 7

    Release date: January 12, 2021

    In this vlog I’m showing you my hometown Tallinn and the great things you can do in the Tallinn Old Town. The Old Town is really pretty and magical during all seasons, where you can go just for a walk or maybe grab some food. But during Christmas every street is so much more magical and you’ll get the Chrismtas feeling even then when we don’t have any snow. The Town Hall and the Tallinn Christmas Market are my favourite places to go to during holiday times. I go there at least once every year. So if you ever come to Tallinn during Christmas then you definitely have to go for tour in the oldtown and enjoy the Christmas mood.
