Hey! I’m Maria, an 18-year-old girl from Tallinn, Estonia. I just finished high school this spring, so right now I’m in that weird but exciting phase where you have to figure out what to do next. I’ve lived in Estonia my whole life, and I really love it here—it has this cool mix of old medieval vibes in the city center and super modern tech stuff everywhere. I grew up speaking both Estonian and Russian at home, and I’ve been learning English since I was little, so I guess you could say communication is a big part of who I am.

Turns On Okay, so the thing I’m absolutely obsessed with right now is photography. I got my first “serious” camera two years ago, and I basically take it everywhere with me. I love capturing candid moments of my friends, the way the light hits the old buildings in the winter, or just the messy, pretty details of everyday life.

Turns Off I really can’t stand hypocrisy and fake people. It just bugs me so much when someone acts one way to your face and then completely different behind your back. Life’s too short for that kind of energy. Also, I have a love-hate relationship with the weather here. I love the snow and the dark forests in winter, but the super short days can get really depressing.
