A glimpse at Estonia
More of what I think and less all that formal information you can find on Wiki.
I have born in Estonia and live here ever since.
Beautiful nature
Even tho Estonia is a small country, there are a lot of places to discover. You can find extraordinary places with untouched nature.
Make your discoveries by foot, on a bicycle or however you think it's convenient to do.
I have taken few bike trips for myself. This kind of trips are always fun, full of surprises and joyful moments.
Special Estonian humor
Sometimes people say that I have some kind of a bit weird humor, but I think it's all-wide Estonian thing. There is something about sarcasm...
And even if you text somebody or write an e-mail you just can't avoid it. You even don't bother to express your emotions through smiley's.
Well, I love it.

Mysterious Estonious
Estonia is so small that most of the people haven't heard of it anything. And those who have, may have heard very contradictory stuff. And probably all of that was true.
So if an Estonian says anything about this country, then it's probably true, even if you have heard completely the opposite. There is no reason to come out here to find out for yourself.

- I've heard of Estonia referred to as a "bread basket" which was referring to great agricultue years ago, I hope that is still true. My sister met several people from Estonia years ago and found them to be very gracious. I love your mushroom picture! All the best!
