Help on my awesome and peaceful home in Tallinn, Estonia

  Description

  Hey, I am part-time backpacker (M, 29y/o, estonian, living alone) and inviting you to share the space and time with me. Having travelled Europe, Central and Northern America, Asia few times now I am back in Estonia and now adjusting my compass of life. Currently stationed at homebase in Tallinn, venturing business ideas and taking care of the house, an house that suits also well for events. Here are also different music instruments, plenty of space, sauna, pool and garden available. Sand beach is 1km away, groceries 2kms, bus stop 150 meters, Airport 15kms, possibly a car available for use.
  I cook at home a lot, therefore kitchen is reasonably well kitted and ready to explore exciting tastes. Being self-employed I have ultra flexible schedule and so is the current rythm in the house. It is my temple of peace while accomodating for a spectrum of events (that we can plan together). I spend quite some time in my head, so a good conversation as a good dance evening will always get my attention. Yes I love to dance also.
  Being a non smoker non drinker I’d prefer to keep the household on par with this. Also currently in ayrvedic regime of no meats nor dairy, yet that is distinctively my journey and there are no limits with cooking general meals.
  
  These values reflect your state of being? Oh well, you are very welcome here.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I am offering a peaceful space 12kms away from Tallinn Old Town, on one of nice peninsulas in Tallinn. A lot is reachable with ease from here, and me sharing top tips and secret(maybe even sacred) locations to go to/or go do daytrips together. I speak Estonian, English, Russian, a tad bit Italian, French, Finnish so mutual language practice possible. I have product/service designer background and I am fluent in cars, so anything related can be debated.

  Help

  I need helping hand(s) with:
  1) Some DIY projects, like renovating wooden floors, repainting ceilings or furniture, I plan to refresh concrete floor in garage so that will be a estimated week-long low pace project coming in.
  2) As spring will be blooming soon, garden has few seasonal things going on, also growing some fresh greens
  3) Sharing cooking schedule would be nice as during my workaways around the world it has shown so much value and learning for all participants.
  4) Organizing some events together (non-profit sauna evenings, getting musicians together to jam etc.)
  5) We can do yoga, go running, bouldering( we have some nice rocks and gyms) or practice muay thai together
  6) There might be some fun car related side quests that I’m doing anyways and you can join if interested.
  7) Some general cleaning/dusting
  8) Maybe managing other workawayers when I am unavailable at some times.

  Accommodation

  You will be staying in private separate rooms as you like, house is rather spacious. Wc/showers are next to private rooms and convenient. Furniture-wise it is minimalistic currently since I have not needed much for self use and it can be solved.
  For WiFi I only have my unlimited data mobile hotspot, and I am not available all the time, so if you are covered in EU it is perfect, if not, we can discuss.
  Cooking is done in kitchen, shared schedule and meal plan we agree on the spot. Basic grains/veggies/water/seasonings are included, some niche should items go according to mealplan and splitted between participants.
  Sauna(firewood heated) and pool(cold plunging in the mornings) is on the ground floor.
  There are few nice remote-working corners in the house available for use and a chess board for times inbetween.
  Some sporting goods available like 24kg dumbell, jumping rope, city bicycle, pairs of boxing gloves.

  What else ...

  As previously expressed- location is good with plenty of resources nearby, beach, old town, huge supermarket 6kms, smaller 2kms, bus station 150m, airport 15kms, Tallinn-Helsinki-Stockholm ferry 12kms, Main bus station in Tallinn 12kms, Train station 11kms, a lot of nature within 30min drive away. I still learn how to relax and be in the state of creative stillness, so we can find the quietest places in nature you have ever seen, and just sit a day away there staring at the sun.
