Tallinn, Group travel

Great place every time 😌 Exquisite food options, local breweries, thrifting, historical old town, things work well in general 🫶 Bolt is very affordable way to move around, as is the puböic transport too. Nightlife is lively!

Estonia, Solo travel

Warm people, nice weather, interesting museums and sights. Safe place for solo travellers, especially women. Hostels are plenty and well-organized. Souvenirs are unique, and the sunset is not to be missed.

Tallinn, Couple travel

I traveled to Tallinn this january with my best friend for both of our birthdays. We went to amazing thrift stores but the thing that impressed me the most in Tallinn was the easy public transport. It was really simple to use and made our trip so relaxing.

Tallinn, Solo travel

I did like to visit the capital of Estonia but it is very expensive for me and since it's expensive there it took down the experience for me. But overall it is a great city and would recommend visiting

Tallinn

Tallinn is one of the safest places you can visit. Just take normal precautions. Keep your belongings close, don’t go to sketchy dark streets alone, never leave your drink alone etc and you will be fine.

Tallinn

Tallinn is overall very safe! In quieter districts you can have evening and nighttime walks with a peace of mind. But be careful of drunk people near Balti jaam train station at night. Wouldn't reccommend wandering the streets of Lasnamäe at night either.

I’ve never felt unsafe in this city. Going running with my headphones in during the evening is not a problem. I’ve lived here for 10 years. Locals say Annelinn is the sketchiest part of town, but I have not had any bad experience.

I do sometimes get catcalled at night (never during the day) but it’s usually foreigners. Estonian men are very shy. Also there are mandatory security guards around pubs and police makes rounds so you there is always someone with authority around. :)

About me

Hey! I am honestly interested in so many different things and I love exploring new fields. During the summer I spend my time SUP boarding and swimming and hiking, and in the winter I have become a huge fan of cross-country skiing. I only started a few years ago but this season I finally felt like I was getting somewhere with it 🙈 I have a deep passion for psychology and astrology and I really enjoy photography and social media marketing. I also love long walks and deep conversations because that is where the best ideas usually come from. Nature is my biggest inspiration especially mountains and lakes and forests 🥰
