My description is : Hey! I’m Nettie, I just turned 18, and I’m from Tallinn, Estonia. You probably haven’t heard much about my country, but it’s actually really beautiful — lots of forests, islands, and really cold winters. I live in the Tallinn city center, but my favorite place is my grandma’s old wooden house in the countryside near Lahemaa National Park. Right now, I just finished high school (finally!) and I work part-time in a little second-hand bookstore in the Old Town. I’m super into vinyl records, old European cinema, and drinking way too much tea. I’d describe myself as a bit introverted at first, but once I trust you, I talk non-stop about random things like Soviet architecture or why the ocean at night looks like another planet.
I like: Honestly? Rainy days when the sky turns this deep grey and the whole city smells like wet cobblestones and pine trees. I love walking through Kadriorg Park with my headphones on, listening to Mazzy Star or some obscure Estonian indie band. I also love thrifting — finding a weird 90s sweater or a broken necklace that still has a story. Baking is a big thing for me too.
I don't like: I really don’t like loud, crowded places where you can’t hear yourself think — like shopping malls on a Saturday. No, thank you. Also, people who pretend to be your friend but then talk behind your back. We’re 18, not 12, come on. I hate when the snow turns into brown slush on the streets — it makes the whole city look sad. And honestly? Small talk about the weather.
