My description is : Hey! I’m Tonia, an 18-year-old girl from the capital of Estonia, Tallinn. If you’ve never heard of it, it’s that cozy little gem in Northern Europe where the old town looks like it’s straight out of a fairy tale, and the air smells like pine trees and the sea at the same time. I just graduated high school, so I’m currently in that chaotic but exciting phase where everyone asks me “So, what’s next?” while I’m trying to figure out who I even am. I grew up running around the cobblestone streets and spending my summers by the Baltic Sea, jumping off rocks into freezing water just to feel alive. I’d describe myself as someone who is independent, a bit dreamy, but also very stubborn when I want to be. If I decide to do something, I usually find a way to make it happen—even if I have to drag my friends along for the ride.
I like: Honestly, I love the feeling of contrast. I love how in Estonia we have these bright, endless “white nights” in summer where the sun barely sets, and in winter we have cozy, dark evenings where the best thing in the world is sitting under a blanket with a hot cup of cocoa.
I dislike: I absolutely hate when people are fake. You know, the kind of people who smile at you but talk behind your back? I don’t have time for that energy. I also really dislike being rushed. I hate alarm clocks, strict schedules, and when someone tells me I have to follow a traditional path just because it’s “safe.”
